Baby Greens w/ Pear, Almonds, Craisins and Gorgonzola Vinegarette

This was a simple salad to throw together, but absolutely delicious!

•Baby Greens
•Fresh Sliced Pear
•Slivered Almonds
•Craisins (dried cranberries)
•Red Onion

Vinegarettes are fun because you can put just about anything in them and they are delicious!

In a bowl I added a pinch or 2 of:
Celery Seed
Oregano
Basil
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Dry Mustard
S&P
Sugar
Balsamic Vinegar (about 4 Tbsp)
Mix it all together and set aside to marinate.
Right before serving I added Gorgonzola crumbles and whisked it all together. It almost makes it creamy!

No oil is necessary on my opinion!

The sweetness of the pear and Craisins contrasted great with the sharpness of the Gorgonzola and tang of the balsamic!

Yum!!!
