Cranberry Pear and Gorgonzola Salad

The star of this salad is our Cranberry Pear vinaigrette dressing. If you’ve never made your own homemade dressings, this is a delicious recipe to start with. Made with wholesome, fresh ingredients, this dressing is vibrant, delicious and easy to make! Our Cranberry Pear Salad is one of our favourites during the fall and winter months. Plump, juicy pears, sweet dried cranberries and candied pecans complement each other beautifully.
