Pear, Walnut Blue Cheese Salad - Turkey day and Christmas 2002

Dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ tsp dijion mustard
½ tsp honey
salt and pepper
fresh thyme leaves if available

Salad:
Baby lettuces
2 pears, peeled and cut in to bite sized pieces or left quarted and sliced almost through arranged on individual plates.
4 oz. Or so Blue or stilton cheese crumbled
½ c. or so Walnuts toasted in oven

Gently toss greens and cut pears with dressing and arrange on plates. If using sliced quartered pears toss greens with dressing and dribble dressing over pears on serving plates. Top with crumbled cheese and walnuts.

Combination of several recipes, VERY GOOD, fixed both ways with pears-sliced makes for fancier presentation, cut up makes for tastier pears as I didn't put enough dressing on the first.

Serves 4.
