How to Make Gorgonzola & Pear Salad with Prosciutto
Tips for the Perfect Gorgonzola & Pear Salad
- Now, this recipe does call for gorgonzola, but that doesn't mean you'll be able to find it in your grocery store. If you're looking for a similar flavour I recommend trying blue cheese!
- Not all pears are the same. I recommend looking for a pear that's on the riper side, so it will add that touch of sweetness to your salad!
- You'll notice many of the ingredients in this recipe are interchangable! I chose to go with pistachios, but you can easily swap for walnuts and it will be equally as delicious!
What to Serve with Gorgonzola & Pear Salad
This salad was made to be enjoyed as a stand-alone meal, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add some extras on the side! First things first, you can’t go wrong with a crust bread. Ever. Looking to add some more protein or carbs? Add some chicken or quinoa to add some more goodness to your salad. Dried fruit is another popular addition to this salad, so grab some dried cranberries or raisins and enjoy!
