There’s a reason this salad is such a classic-it’s a no-fuss salad that uses 5 delicious ingredients. The sweet pear balances the salty blue cheese, and the colors are vibrant. We eat with our eyes, after all! Try this 5-ingredient salad for lunch with a slice of bakery sourdough bread dipped in olive oil.
2-3 cups green leaf lettuce, washed and dried
1 Anjou pear, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tablespoons crumbly gorgonzola
1/2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tablespoons good balsamic vinegar
Hint: I used a Blackberry Ginger balsamic from a specialty oil and vinegar store. Specialty olive oils and vinegars add unexpected flavors to your favorite dishes)
Whisk together oil and vinegar.
Simply assemble your salad, layering the pear and blue cheese over the greens, and drizzling with your homemade 2-ingredient dressing.
