Spinach Blue Cheese and Pear Salad

OH MY! It's been forever since I've posted a thing!  Sometimes life just gets in the way....of blogging apparently.  I've been cooking my tush off the last few weeks but I haven't had time to come up with anything new.  My apologies.

I just had a cookie exchange/girls night at my cousins cottage.  Mothers and daughters and it was a riot!  We all bring 2 different kind cookies ...I bring 2 different freezable dips and we exchange.  Seeing as that only takes a whopping 2 minutes, we eat and drink the rest of the night.  We had a fantastic dinner and luckily my cousin Jill made this delish salad.  The second I took a bite I knew I was blogging this.

There's a million salads like this out there but this one is so simple and really darn good.  If you don't have spinach, use arugula.  If you don't have a pear, use an apple.  Not the end of the world.  Now, go make this.  You won't be sorry.



Spinach Blue Cheese and Pear Salad
Serves 6

3 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tbsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
Salt & Pepper
6-8 cups baby spinach
1 pear, cored and diced
1-2 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup Stilton or Blue cheese, crumbled

Combine the olive oil, vinegar, honey and lemon juice in a small jar.  Pour over the rest of the ingredients and serve right away.
