Spinach, Pear, and Gorgonzola Salad
Here's a unique salad that blends presentation with flavor. The combination of the soft sweet pears, the crisp fresh spinach, the crunchiness of the walnuts, and tangy Gorgonzola make a sumptuous salad. Try it with my Cranberry Champagne Vinaigrette or Poppy Seed Salad Dressing. Click here for a complete list of my salad dressing recipes.

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup pecans
4 cups fresh spinach leaves
1/3 cup sliced red onion
1 pear peeled and sliced
1/3 cup Gorgonzola cheese
Cranberry Champagne Vinaigrette 
Raspberry Vinaigrette
Poppy Seed Salad Dressing
  1. Heat a small skillet, melt the butter and toast the pecans. Make sure you keep an eye on them, you don't want them to burn.
  2. Equally divide the spinach leaves onto 4 salad plates.
  3. Decoratively place the red onion, pear slices, the Gorgonzola, and the toasted pecans on each plate.
  4. Top with a vinaigrette.
