HARVEST PEAR & GORGONZOLA SALAD

Harvest Pear & Gorgonzola Salad image

This irresistible salad features juicy pears, salty gorgonzola (or blue cheese), crunchy fennel, peppery arugula, sweet dried cherries and nutty walnuts. A quick apple cider vinaigrette ties everything together. It's always a crowd pleaser, and it pairs perfectly with just about any main course, from holiday roasts, to baked chicken, to weeknight pastas. If you're not a blue cheese fan, goat cheese and feta are also delicious (although this salad has converted blue cheese skeptics!). Don't miss my step-by-step video above!
