Easy and delicious salad, great mix of different flavors and textures. Thanks for sharing! -
What a great salad! I used pecans instead of the walnuts and they went so well with the other ingredients! This will be a standard salad at my house from now on! -
This recipe is incredibly delicious. The contrasts of sweet and savory and textures of crunchy and creamy. It's our favorite salad. I was going to post this one today."smile" -
I love this dressing. I used green apples instead of pears because we don't like pears. The apples with the blue cheese and walnuts is a great combo. The dressing is so fresh! I am making this again tonight.

I am an artist and flute player who gets crazy and nuts-o if I don't get some baking/cooking time in my week. I plan parties just so I can cook and I also take food to all of the neighbors--especially families with teenage boys. Because we are recent empty-nesters, we just can't eat it all.
