I got this recipe from a friend at one of our ladies recipe nights. The sweet flavor of the pear and the creamy, strong flavor of the cheese are so contrasting that it comes together in perfect harmony. Maybe my words are a little dramatic, try it and you come up with a description for yourself.
The dressing that I make with it is a little thrown together, but you can tweak that you your liking. Enjoy!
