WATERCRESS, PEAR AND GORGONZOLA SALAD
Mellow pears contrast the strong flavors of gorgonzola in this bright, lightly creamy salad. It's all finished with a sweet-tart dressing of onion, mustard and red wine vinegar. It makes a lovely first course, or simply treat it as two servings, rather than four, and serve it as a light lunch.
