A CLASSIC SALAD

This is one of my favourites - made it to take to a friend and didn't bother to look for a recipe.
PEAR AND GORGONZOLA SALAD:
  • Head of Romaine lettuce
  • 2 pears - just ripe! Slice fairly thin, lengthways 
  • about 3 ozs mountain gorgonzola cheese
  • half cup walnuts - lightly toasted
  • balsamic vinaigrette - with a little honey added
This salad need to be presented on a platter or shallow dish.  Toss the lettuce in some of the dressing and arrange as the base. Top with the pears, drizzle more dressing onto them.  The cheese is too creamy to crumble, you will need to dice or just break apart with your fingers and scatter evenly over the salad, the do the same with the nuts. Enjoy!
