Very good salad!! we're not used to blue cheese, but it blended in really well with the other ingredients. I used a very ripe fresh pear, it was great! The only suggestion I have is cut back a little on the oil and add a little molasses to the vinegrette to give it a little somthing extra. MMmmmm...

Loved this salad, and so did my DH! I backed down a little on the oil. And used Goats cheese instead of blue. Lastly am not a big fan of canned pears. So I recommend ripe to overripe (sweetness is key here) pears.

It's quite delicious. I added candied pecans. Since I don't like raw onions, I'll caramelize them next time. Fancy little salad that's delicious and quick.

This tasted so great and was so easy. I searched for something to make to go with a pasta dish after coming home from a ski trip and feeling lazy to eat out. Found this recipe and happened to have all the ingredients (used apricot instead of peach). Dinner was on the table in under 30 minutes, and our friend was so impressed that he said he's sending his wife over for lessons!

Very good - added a little molasses to the dressing as in the recipe for Hot Spinach salad on this web site & left the rest as is. Everyone loved it.

I have made this for several events and everyone loves it. I always add some walnuts and use feta cheese instead of blue since it's milder. Will try with canned mandarin oranges for summer months.

Loved this recipe! Also made it with fresh pears and I liked the canned ones better. Simple to prepare and looks great.

Wow, a friend of mine thought it was an appauling combination of ingredients, but she loved it when she tried. Another one emailed me to get the recipe, she loved it so much! This is definitely one of my favorite salads - easy to make and delicious to eat. :) Highly recommended.
