Attractive salad with a mix of textures which I've adapted from Taste magazine which is put out by a variety of Liquor Distributors. Goes well with Pacific Northwest Poached Salmon in white Wine Bouillon **I've found I prefer using lemon juice instead of orange juice with this recipe. If you prefer tart over sweet, you may too. And I can take or leave the Endive

PACIFIC NORTHWEST SALAD
From Cooking Pleasures magazine The blue cheese was too strong for my husband and me. Next time I will use feta. "Sweet, delicious pears do double-duty in this pretty salad. They're diced and sauteed in butter for the salad's base, as well as sliced and served raw atop the mixed greens. For a crispy accompaniment, toast baguette slices and spread them with a creamy blue cheese. Look for an Oregon blue, such as Rogue Creamery Oregon Blue Vein Cheese." To toast hazelnuts, place on baking sheet; bake at 375 4-6 minutes or until slightly darker in color and skins begin to crack. Cool.

NORTHWEST SALMON SALAD
I love that I can use my favorite Northwest ingredients-fresh salmon, blueberries and hazelnuts-all in one recipe. The salmon and sour cream dressing are just as scrumptious in a sandwich. -Davis Clevenger, Dexter, Oregon

Steps:
- 1. To make the dressing, in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Cover tightly and shake vigorously to blend. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Set aside.
- 2. Place the onions in a medium bowl and cover with cold water. Let stand for 15 minutes. This crisps the onion and takes away the raw onion taste. Drain well and pat dry on paper towels.
- 3. In a small bowl, toss the cranberries with 2 tablespoons of the dressing to soften them. Set aside for 15 minutes or until ready to serve the salad.
- 4. To assemble the salad, place the spinach, onions, and pears in a large bowl. Give the remaining dressing a last-minute shake and pour over the salad. Toss to coat evenly. Arrange the salad in a large serving bowl or divide it evenly among 8 salad plates. Scatter the cranberries and hazelnuts over the top(s). Serve immediately.
