Spring Salad With Anjou Pears Walnuts And Gorgonzola Recipes

PEAR, GORGONZOLA & WALNUT SALAD

Pear, Gorgonzola & Walnut Salad image

The light and refreshing vinaigrette in this side salad offsets the tangy funk of Gorgonzola and sweetness from the raisins and pears. Even better, this salad celebrates fall and has beautiful colors. Feel free to get creative with this salad: Add chicken to make it meal-worthy, choose a different nut or swap Bosc pears for your favorite variety. Be sure to wait to dress this salad until ready to serve or the greens will wilt.

SPRING SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA AND WALNUTS

Spring Salad With Gorgonzola and Walnuts image

Yummy salad that's easy to do. I like to use a mix that has frisée and radicchio in it because the bitter pairs well with the sweetness from the walnuts.

WATERCRESS, PEAR AND GORGONZOLA SALAD

Watercress, Pear and Gorgonzola Salad image

Mellow pears contrast the strong flavors of gorgonzola in this bright, lightly creamy salad. It's all finished with a sweet-tart dressing of onion, mustard and red wine vinegar. It makes a lovely first course, or simply treat it as two servings, rather than four, and serve it as a light lunch.
