The combination between pears and gorgonzola is a classic not only in salads, but also in other savory dishes - from little starters to pies and so on. You would be right if you called it a classic. This salad can be eaten by itself as a main course, accompanied only by a crusty piece of bread, or as a side to a heartier main - like roast turkey, for example, to stick to the American cuisine.
Anyway you plan to have it, you should try the combination at least once to see what it's about. Enjoy :)

- 2-3 tablespoons dried cranberries or raisins
- juice from half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Chop the lettuce and put it in the salad bowl. Core the pear and cut it into fine strips. Add them to the salad leaves:
Cut the gorgonzola into cubes. Add the cheese cubes, the chopped walnuts and the cranberries to the salad.
Mix the remaining ingredients into a well-shaken vinaigrette. Pour it over the salad and mix everything together well. It's done, dig in! :)
