Chicken, Pear and Blue Cheese Salad
"This is a perfect light meal for the hot summer days. When grilling chicken breasts, grill a couple of extra and put in fridge for use in this salad. This recipe is compliments of The Diabetic Cookbook."

An excellent salad & 1 even DH said was among the best he has ever had. That is high praise from my meat & potatoes guy who happens to only favor blue cheese dressing & none other. I made my dressing using Recipe #228879 by AshK (a favorite w/us) & made 2 servings as written except that I was not able to grill the chicken used. I expect it would be even better w/grilled chicken, but the grill season here has gone & left us w/colder temps, wind & rain. I cannot imagine changing a thing about this salad. It's easy-to-fix & everything works to perfection. Made for Fall PAC 2007 & thx for sharing this keeper recipe w/us. -
Lovely salad combo, I halved it. I added some crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to make it a more bleu cheese salad. I never by salad dressing so I mixed some sour cream, milk and mashed Gorgonzola.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
