Wow, I didn't think I would like this but tried it because of the overload of pears around here, excellent. I have a salad topping mix of cranberries and walnuts that I used instead of separate. Grilled them the next time but you miss the juices in the dressing. - 9/6/16

Very nice! The BF had his with red wine and San Francisco sourdough and kept raving about the flavours. I concur. Lovely mix of flavours. I think next time I'll grill it very briefly just before serving to warm it up a touch. Also omitted the cranberries and halved the blue cheese. - 1/3/13
