Heat some honey in a pan until it melts. Add shelled walnuts and toss until coated and toasted. Remove from pan and cool.
Dice a nice, just ripe pear (I prefer Williams Green) and some Gorgonzola Piccante (or any good, hard blue cheese). Wash and cut a head of Romaine lettuce in small strips.
In a bowl, mix four tablespoons walnut or good olive oil, a teaspoon of Dijon mustard (smooth Maille), a spoon of honey, and some salt and pepper.
Toss the pears and the lettuce in the dressing.
Add the cheese and walnuts and carefully mix.
Serve and enjoy.

Wish you a sunny week end!

Vale
I am such a gorgonzola and blue cheese fan. Maybe I can sneak this recipe by my salad-loving husband who is, unfortunately for me, not the fan that I am.
What a lovely salad! Will have to try this one.
This sounds wonderfully delicious. Think I'll print it out. BTW--last night I dreamed we were driving up the hill to the Baur BandB. How I wish!
One of my favourite taste combinations - pears and blue cheese - mmmmmm
Allison - hopefully you can. It's the reverse in our family -- marco adores blue cheese and I can't stand it . . . but in a salad with pears and walnuts, I do actually like it. Bonne chance!
