Salad du Jour

.

I've been buying Bosc pears at the farmers market every week and making delicious salads with them. This is my current creation...

.

Salad with Blue Cheese & Pear

Bosc pear, cut into slices or chunks (I do chunks)

Walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped

Blue cheese (a good wedge!), crumbled

Mixed greens

.

Balsamic dressing - I don't follow a recipe anymore because I've made these two so many times that I just throw it together with rough measurements. You could follow either one or make up your own:

Heather's Basic Balsamic Dressing

My mother-in-law's Basic Balsamic Dressing

Another great salad with pear is my friend Tara's Simple Salad with Goat Cheese & Pear.
