5 from 1 vote

Servings: Makes 2 salads

*2 heaping cups of mixed greens preferably organic
*1 pear peeled if not organic, and sliced thin
*2 tablespoons roasted shelled pistachios, or more to taste (I like Wonderful Pistachios)
*2 tablespoons crumbled gorgonzola cheese or more to taste
*2 tablespoons of your best olive oil
*1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
*1/2-1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey; I prefer the larger amount
*freshly ground black pepper

1. Arrange greens on 2 salad plates. Divide the sliced pears on top of the greens, and sprinkle on the pistachios and cheese.
2. Mix the oil, vinegar, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Drizzle evenly over both salads, then add some freshly ground black pepper before serving.
