Pear, Walnut, and Blue Cheese Salad Recipe. I love it when a salad comes together. What you have here is different layers of flavors from the rich blue cheese, sweet pears, and savory onions. You add some walnuts and you have your crunch. When you get a little of each ingredient on your fork it results in a harmony of flavors that play off each other.
