Gorgonzola Pear

The unquestioned star of this salad, the smooth-but-powerful gorgonzola cheese, enjoys a northern Italian heritage that stretches back over eleven hundred years. Balancing the acidic bite of the gorgonzola we add slices of fresh pear to our salad of  mixed greens tossed in balsamic vinaigrette, with a savory pecan-crusted chicken on top.
