Over the holidays, I tried a new salad recipe that has turned out to be my absolute favorite salad recipe of all times. With a wonderful rosemary and parsley dressing, fresh pears, and a few blue cheese crumbles, it's wonderful as a starter salad for a nice dinner with company, or great as a dinner salad.
The pears and the spinach together are just sweet and wonderful.
