Well I was on my own again last night and this made a wonderful light dinner. I made just a few changes since it was just me. I didn't have the walnut oil so I used a light olive oil and left out the pecans all together to save on a few calories. The flavors of the pear, gorgonzola cheese and this wonderful dressing were just perfect. Loved the dressing. I'll be making this again for sure. Thanks Paula.

I have to give this a five stars because my husband really liked it. I do not like pears, but it was a great salad even without the pears. The dressing is the best and will make this again with pears for hubby and apples for me. Made for ZWT5
