PEAR, CRANBERRY AND STILTON WALDORF SALAD

Pear, Cranberry and Stilton Waldorf Salad image

This is an adaptation of one of Emeril's Waldorf Salad recipes. The key to making it delicious is using very hearty, crunch lettuce. Softer lettuce turns to mush with the mayo dressing. You can sub any bleu cheese for the Stilton. It makes a great healthy lunch or a nice side to a beef or pork dish.
