Arrange lettuce on salad plates; place a pear in center of each plate, spoon pan drippings over top of each pear. Drizzle desired amount of Marzetti Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing over each salad.

This roasted pear salad was a delightful autumn dish! The combination of sweet pears, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts was perfect.
