Ina Garten's recipes are almost always simple and delicious. My husband and I saw her making this on her show and decided to give it a try. We are happy we did. I am not a fan of blue cheese, and I even liked it. It may be because the blue cheese we bought was a specialty that included dried cranberries -- obviously seemed to fit well with the recipe. Because the liquid dressing was plentiful and so, so , tasty I hated discarding any excess. Instead, I kept the extra in a little jar and have been using it since the pears were long gone as a salad dressing. Simply put, it is yummy. Another Ina recipe I have added to my recipe book.

Delicious. Great as an appetizer or salad. Did not have port so used cream sherry instead. Will make these again.

Excellent but rich salad. Watch the cooking time. If the pears are ripe they don't need a full 30 minutes, more like 20-22. This is a keeper for special occaisions or when pears are plentiful. Could easily be served without the arugula.

This was a definite "star!" We served it for our Christmas dinner, which always includes a whole roasted tenderloin and some kind of potatoes. We served it as a salad and my father-in-law, who initially refused it, took one bite of my mother-in-law's and then asked for his! But I think it makes a fabulous salad/cheese/dessert course, anyway you serve it. We will make it part of our tradition now! And many of the other reviews were helpful in choosing this one.

I received some pears from a relative and decided to try this recipe. Absolutely wonderful and really easy! I'm going to try it again tonight, but the boys ate all the dried cranberries (of course, discovered that after I returned from the store - so I'm going to try it with raisins instead.

I have made this dish several times, and everyone loves it. It looks really fancy, tastes great, and I love it for a dinner party. It's especially festive for the holidays with all the beautiful flavors and colors.

Unfortunately, I went with the not-so-good olive oil. I totally regret that bad life decision. Don't be like me...
