Sherried Greens With Fruit and Blue Cheese

crazycookinmama's Note:

This is another low fat, quick recipe. A perfect side dish or main dish. Great summer salad. If you can't find toasted sesame oil, you can substitute vegetable oil and sprinkle the salad with toasted sesame seeds.

I made this last night and forgot to review it! It is a wonderful light salad that I served with Curried Shrimp With Pineapple Salsa #114147. The fruit in the salad was the perfect combination for the spicy shrimp dish. I did not find pears at the grocery so I used jicama that was julienne and instead of the blue cheese I opted to use the feta which I had on hand. The salad greens were a spring mix. The dressing called for raspberry balsamic vinegar which I did not have. I used regular dark balsamic vinegar. This is a salad I am sure to make again. Thanks
