    I didn't have apricot preserves so I used wild blueberry and it was delicious!

    I loved this! I've had something similar before and was never able to replicate the dressing. This dressing is better than a restaurant. I didn't have apricot preserves on hand, so I subsituted peach and it was fabulous! Feta will work in a pinch if you don't have blue cheese. Try adding some walnuts for a little extra texture. The combo is quite delicious with the pears and cheese. I will make this again and again. Enjoy!

    The peppery taste of the arugula perfectly matches the sweetness of the apricots and the tartnest of the blue cheese. This is also works well if you substitute low-cal ingredients like low-sugar apricot preserves, lowfat blue chees salad dressing and using minimal olive oil. Thanks Rachel, for getting me out of a rut!

    Whenever I am asked to bring a salad to a dinner party, I bring this one. Sometimes I add candied walnuts or almonds. For Christmas eve dinner, I used pears with red skins which made it look very festive.

    I used sherry vinegar. Very good. Different. Kids liked it. That's a big plus!
