Pear, Blue Cheese and Walnut Salad

Have you been eating lots of holiday sweets?  I know I've eaten my fair share of cookies and candy recently and I really wanted to make something healthy.  This recipe is from Drizzle and Drip, another mouth-watering and delicious looking blog.

Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients: 

Arugula or other mixed greens

1 pear, thinly sliced

Walnuts, coarsely chopped

Blue cheese, crumbled

4 Tabl. olive oil

2 Tabl. red wine vinegar

1 Tabl. and 1 tsp.  maple syrup

1/2 tsp Dijon mustard

salt

Directions:

1.  Mix arugula, sliced pears, walnuts, and blue cheese.

2.  For dressing, mix oil, red wine vinegar, syrup, mustard, and salt.  Mix well.  Pour over salad.

 

I thought the salad looked a little plain, so I added some dried cranberries that I had left over from the cookies I made earlier this week. 

 

Easy to make and delicious.  Enjoy!
