Pear Nectarine Salad with Gorgonzola and Pear Balsamic Dressing

This delicious salad was from last Summer. If it wasn’t apparent I am working hard this week to post any backlogged recipes. So here we go!

The balsamic dressing for this salad is very unique and delicious, combining orange olive oil, pear balsamic vinegar, a touch of sugar and brown mustard. It would be delicious to use it as an appetizer -take a cracker, top it with cheese, a thin slice of ripe fruit and drizzle the dressing on top. Enjoy!
