SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Misc. Recipes & Requests

INSTRUCTIONS
There is a version of gorgonzola which is a sandwich of gorgonzola and a creamy cheese that would work very well with this. If I ever remember what it is called, I'll edit the recipe!

Pear and Gorgonzola Salad

4 to 6 cups (1 - 1.5 L) mixed greens, trimmed,
washed, and dried
1/2 cup (125 ml) basic vinaigrette sauce (recipe follows)
2 pears, cored and sliced
1/4 lb (110 g) Gorgonzola or other good quality
blue cheese, crumbled
1 cup (250 ml) walnut halves, toasted and coarsely
chopped

Toss the greens with most of the vinaigrette and divide between
individual salad plates. Arrange the pear slices on top and sprinkle
the Gorgonzola over all. Top with the toasted walnuts and remaining
vinaigrette. Serves 4 to 6.

Basic Vinaigrette Sauce

1 Tbs (15 ml) finely chopped shallot or onion
1 tsp (5 ml) Dijon-style mustard
1/4 cup (60 ml) red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3/4 cup (180 ml) extra virgin olive oil

Combine the shallot, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small
mixing bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined. Add the oil in a
thin stream, whisking constantly. If the sauce separates before being
used it me be recombined by whisking vigorously for a few seconds.
Makes 1 cup (250 ml).
