Simple Pear, Gorgonzola, & Craisin Salad

So I don't think this really counts as a legit post, but I just threw together a pretty bangin' salad so I thought I'd share.


What you'll need:
-Romaine lettuce, or mixed greens of your preferences
-1-2 pears
-Craisins (dried cranberries)
-A couple of ounces of gorgonzola cheese
-Balsamic Vinaigrette 


Throw the base Romaine into a bowl. Cut up the pears into small pieces. If you're only making the salad for one, a pear to a pear and a half should be sufficient. If you can find fresh craisins, props to you. I just bought the cheap-o grocery store version from Ocean Spray. With the Gorgonzola, crumble the cheese into the bowl, but make sure the crumbles are tiny or you will end up with big chunks in your salad which can be too much. 

 Toss with Balsamic Vinaigrette or your choice of dressing and you're done!


Simple, tasty, and takes 5 mins to throw together. If you want to add grilled chicken or spiced pecans as well, it would probably give an added kick!


More accredited post coming this week....I swear.

    Store bought salad dressing????
    "Olive" oil and basalmic vinegar with a little honey mustard makes a great vinaigrette. Try it.
