For a richer flavor, consider using toasted pecans instead of walnuts. If you don't have Gorgonzola, crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese make great substitutes. The cranberry vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to shake well before using. For a vegan option, omit the Gorgonzola cheese and use maple syrup in place of sugar in the vinaigrette.

Refrigerate the vinaigrette until chilled, approximately 30 minutes, to allow the flavors to meld.

03 Step
Recipe View Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the romaine lettuce, endive, diced pears, walnuts, and Gorgonzola cheese. (about 5 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Dress and Serve: Drizzle the chilled cranberry vinaigrette over the salad, tossing gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Be careful not to overdress the salad; you may not need all the vinaigrette. Divide the salad among individual serving plates and garnish each with the julienned pear. Sprinkle with additional walnuts, if desired. Serve immediately (about 5 minutes).
