Pear and Goat Cheese Salad

This recipe is attributed to my cousin, Rachelle, who blogs at Dishing It Gluten Free. The combination of flavors is fabulous. I wasn't sure how my kids would like the goat cheese, but they gobbled it up and wanted more. I loved it so much that I made it for my lunch three days in a row!


Pear and Goat Cheese Salad

Green leaf lettuce
Goat cheese
Pears, peeled and cubed
Dried blueberries
Pecans, chopped

Julie's notes: I dressed this with Brianna's Blush Wine Vinaigrette. Delicious! Use any type of lettuce--even spinach. I found the goat cheese and dried blueberries at Costco. I don't mind the larger quantity. It just gives me an excuse to find more recipes that call for goat cheese.

  1. I put goat cheese in whatever we are making. Pizza, pasta, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, salad, I can't resist that huge costco sized piece!

  4. Great idea! I love Rachelle's blog. It makes me feel like trying recipes, which says a lot. John's really the cook. I'm trying to eat more veggies and salad this year!

  5. I love Brianna's dressings! Have you ever tried the poppyseed? So good on a spinach/strawberry/craisin/pecan salad or any salad with fruit. Yum. I'm enjoying reading through your recipes!
