1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts, lightly toasted (*see instructions)

1 1/2 cups crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

2 pears, cored and diced

1/3 cup pomegranate juice

2 tsp. honey

1 tsp. balsamic vinegar

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1. In a small bowl, whisk all dressing ingredients except the oil until well combined.

2. Add the oil in a slow stream, whisking continuously.

3. Place greens in a large bowl. Just before serving, toss with dressing and top with walnuts, cheese, and pears.

4. *To toast walnuts, preheat oven to 350*F.
