BABY GREENS WITH A WARM GORGONZOLA DRESSING
This was the result of an attempt to imitate a salad dressing at a restaurant. I did modify it to include bacon and I serve it warm. The dressing is also fantastic over gnocchi or tortellini.

SIMPLE GREENS AND FRUIT SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE
This is a favorite salad in our house. I change it around to match the fruits of the season. Some of our favorites are: canned mandarin oranges, diced apples, diced pears, fresh berries, or even Craisins. I love the fact I always have something in the fridge to top the salad. My husband doesn't like blue cheese, but the Gorgonzola isn't as strong to him. I use Paul Newman's light dressing, but use one you like!
