Sweet pears, salty Gorgonzola, peppery arugula, and crunchy walnuts render this easy-to-make salad a restaurant classic.

- 2 pears, washed, cored and sliced into eighths
- 1 cup roasted walnut halves
- 1/2 cup dried currants or raisins
- 2 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- 1tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Divide lettuce onto 4 chilled plates and top with sliced pears and currants. Crumble the cheese evenly over the 4 salads, and top with walnut halves. In a small bowl combine the lemon juice, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Whisk together and season with salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. Drizzle half over the salads and serve the rest on the side.
