I love a good seasonal salad. So in this salad, I really let the wonderful autumnal ingredients shine. The beautiful red lettuces are a very pretty contrast to the bright pears and the hearty cherries. You get lots of sweet and savory in this salad.

Radicchio and Romaine Salad

-4 cups of baby red romaine and red radicchio
-1/2 of a seasonal pear
-1/2 cup of dried cherries
-Blue cheese vinaigrette

1) Lightly dress the romaine and radicchio with the vinaigrette, and pile onto a salad plate.

2) Sprinkle each salad with ¼ cup of dried cherries.

3) Thinly slice the pear half into ten slices. Carefully fan five of the slices out onto each salad.

Blue Cheese Vinaigrette

-1/4 cup red wine vinegar
-1/2 cup olive oil
-1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
-1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
-1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce

1) Whisk all together in a bowl, or shake together in a mason jar.
