... from the new spin on salads recipe book... just wanted to share that I made it the other night and it is delicious! And pretty easy too. I didn't have the red onion so left that out but it was great without it (not a big onion fan here though!).
 
carmelized pear salad good tooI made the carmelized pear salad last week...it's delicious. My DH doesn't like pears or blue cheese, but he loved this salad.

I don't remember if the recipe called for it or not, but I included some toasted walnuts since they compliment both pears and blue cheese.
 
That sounds amazing! I love finding new recipes to try and it's always a bonus when they're easy to make. I'll have to check out that recipe book for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience with it! I'm not a big fan of onions either so I'll probably leave them out as well. Can't wait to give it a try!
