What a lovely combination of flavours and textures! I didn't realize how well gorgonzola would go with pear, so it was a very, very pleasant surprise. I used more vinegar and less olive oil in the salad (personal preference). We really enjoyed this salad, thanks for posting the recipe. Made for PAC Fall 2009.
