Winter salad with pears, walnuts and gorgonzola cheese

If you are looking for an idea for a healthy, easy and quick lunch, I would reccomend this delicious recipe for a winter salad with pears, walnuts and gorgonzola cheese. You can use your favorite type of salad such as rocket salad or baby spinach. I decided to use a mix of arugula, green and red lettuce, romaine lettuce and baby spinach. The addition of creamy gorgonzola cheese adds depth of flavor, while the pear pieces add just the right sweetness. In addition, the walnut kernels and pomegranate seeds give crunchiness. Everything is served with a vinaigrette made of extra virgin olive oil, honey, mustard, vinegar. This mix creates a perfect sweet and sour dressing for this type of salad. This salad recipe is excellent both as a rich side dish and as a single first course to serve with a piece of hot focaccia.
