Fantastic!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made this salad for Thanksgiving dinner, however I substituted romaine and baby greens. I cut up a ripe Bosc pear (it was in... season) instead of using the canned pears. I used Dannon Pear yogurt instead of plain yogurt. It has a few small chunks of pears in it, but I zipped the dressing in a blender to make it nice and smooth. It also took care of the pear and blue cheese chunks. :) I had a guest who does not like blue cheese tell me they loved the dressing. Lastly, I topped the salad with Craisins, chopped praline pecans and provided more blue cheese crumbles on the side. Highly recommend making the dressing a day in advance. It is so much yummier!Read more

Why can't you follow directions?!? The dressing dosen't "smell like feet", it smells like Gorgonzola! The dressing isn't... "salty", it's pungent and intense! (That's why you marry it with Arugula, Pecans and Pears!) Made it. Loved it. Making it again! (The pears are ripening as I type!) The dressing needs a good 36 hrs to develop that really good "Smelly Feet" flavor! But, what do I know . . . Read more

Gorgonzola lover
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I love gorgonzola and this was excellent. I to used it just on mixed salad greens. I am rather confused. Why was "Urgent... question" putting it in a crockpot?? Will be making this again soon.Read more
