Pear Walnut Salad With Artisan Bleu Cheese

I used mixed greens, pears, honey and bleu cheese-all from oregon sources in this salad. For alternate versions, try two different varieties of pears. For example, i tested forelle and anjou pears. Rogue creamery artisan cheesemaker supplied the bleu cheese (in particular their smokey blue), too. A light dressing tops it off. From a local source. Makes 6 small dinner salads. A perfect salad for a brunch or light meal. Happy 2009!!

Easy !.
