Winter Salad image

I make this salad for special dinners. Everyone loves the flavor combination and interesting textures of the pears, walnuts, greens and Gorgonzola cheese. It makes good use of ingredients grown here in California, and it's nice for winter when other fruits aren't readily available.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The roasted beets were sweet and tender, and the citrus segments and goat cheese added a nice touch of flavor.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of beets. Next time I will try using a less sweet variety.
