Meatless Monday-Pear and Gorgonzola Salad

I love doing this simple salad as a quick lunch on the weekends or for an easy dinner.  I like to use a spring mix for the base of the salad, but any lettuce will work or combination.  You can choose any type of pear that you like, I like using anjou pears with the skin left on (buy organic if you like using the skin).  A lot of recipes that I have seen for this salad uses walnuts, I like to use pecans.  To make sure that the pecans are crunchy, I will roast them in the oven in a sweet and spicy mix.  For another flare, I cut seedless red grapes in half and toss them in.  To round out this wonderful salad we usually will have a nice piece of crunchy bread with butter and a glass of Riesling.  Enjoy!
