Pear and Blue Cheese Salad

This salad was a hit as a side dish with last nights dinner.  Here is the recipe.  I am currently eating many salads from my garden.  I planted lettuce this year and it is taking over part of my garden.  This has saved me much money on lettuce this year. 

I love my garden what are you eating from yours? (leave me a comment)




8 cups mixed salad greens
1 cup unpeeled fresh pear slices                  
1 cup fresh raspberries

1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese

1/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted

1/3 cup olive or vegetable oil                  

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard                   

1 teaspoon sugar

pepper to taste

 

Directions

In a large salad bowl, combine the greens, pears, raspberries if desired, blue cheese and nuts. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the remaining ingredients; shake well. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
