ROMAINE LETTUCE WITH PEARS, GORGONZOLA AND CANDIED WALNUTS
This recipe comes from the March/April issue of "Tastes of Italia". It's almost as good using just lightly toasted and chopped walnuts. You may also use butter lettuce if you prefer.

[email protected]This salad is a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The pears add a subtle sweetness, the gorgonzola a tangy sharpness, and the candied walnuts a crunchy nuttyness. The romaine lettuce provides a crisp base for all the other ingredients.
