    I've made this again and again because my family keeps requesting it. I've also used the dressing on a "Cobb" salad that included pears. I highly recommend other cooks try this.

    We loved it .... spectacular! I also added sliced chicken breast to the plate. The chicken and dressing were a perfect marriage! My husband said that I could invite him anytime.

    Possibly the best salad dressing I've ever had!!!

    It is a perfect combination of Bleu Cheese, and Sweet, and Tang. Absolutely perfect. The flavors all hit you at different times. It is delightful. This is a Giada 'out of the park' recipe. I followed the recipe to the letter.

    My husband was skeptical of the 'pear' when I told him I was going to make it. Great guy that he is, he said he'd be game to try it. He almost drank the whole blender-ful before I put it on the salad - when I asked him to try it :

    The salad itself - of course is flexible. I followed to the letter. (I might have added a few slivers of red onion.

    For anyone looking for Pear Nectar... I found it in my "Mega-Mart" in the Juice aisle, right with the lemon juice and other juices. (Huge bottle... but it was so... worth it.

    Thumbs up!!!

    I loved this dressing. It was so fresh and zingy..The butter lettuce is the best choice for this I added grilled shrimp, a little chopped yellow pepper and shelled pistachio nuts. This made a nice meal on a hot day. Making this again. Used leftover dressing to dip carrots and zucchini in...yum

    Yum!
    I didn't have pear nectar or white balsamic vinegar so I substituted with pear juice and regular balsamic vinegar and it still turned out good. I think it could have been a little bit stronger but I think I'll just have to adjust it next time. I also added extra crumbled Gorgonzola on top of the salad for extra flavor. Can't wait to try it again!

    My family loved this recipe! I used toasted pecans because I didn't have hazelnuts. Best dressing ever!

    I used dried cherries and roasted walnuts for this salad. My husband loved the wedge, but we didn't find the dressing to be very flavorful. I used high-grade gorgonzola and white balsamic, but it still lacked a lot of taste. I love this idea, so I will just look for another version of this dressing to use.

    This is the first time I made a dinner that felt like we were eating at a nice steakhouse.
