Ingrédients

5 ounces salad greens, chopped (I used half baby arugula, half little gem lettuce)

2 large ripe pears, diced

1 large avocado, peeled, pitted and diced

1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced

6 ounces candied walnuts* (I made a half batch of this recipe)

4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola cheese

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or balsamic vinegar)

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper

Instructions

Make the vinaigrette:

Add the vinaigrette ingredients to a mason jar, cover, and shake vigorously for 10 seconds until combined. (Alternately, you can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until combined.)

Toss the salad:

Add salad greens, pears, avocado, red onion, candied walnuts and gorgonzola cheese to a large salad bowl. Drizzle evenly with the vinaigrette, then toss until combined. Taste and season with extra salt and pepper, if needed.
