Roughly shop your pecans and toast them in a touch of butter in a skillet over medium heat stirring frequently.

Core your pear and then cut it into bite sized pieces and place on a baking sheet.

Broil the pears on high for approx 5 minutes or until they are just tender.

Start your salad with a bed of greens.

Layer on the pears, craisins, and gorgonzola, and pecans onto the greens.

Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette.

Toss and enjoy.
