WINTER SALAD

Winter Salad image

I make this salad for special dinners. Everyone loves the flavor combination and interesting textures of the pears, walnuts, greens and Gorgonzola cheese. It makes good use of ingredients grown here in California, and it's nice for winter when other fruits aren't readily available.
