Delicious salad

Ingredients:

1 mango, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 D'Anjou pear, peeled, cored and chopped
Golden Raisins
Crumbled gorgonzola (or any bleu) cheese
Organic baby spinach leaves
Green lettuce or lettuce mix
Good Seasons Red Raspberry Vinagrette with Poppy Seed Dressing

Mix the mango, pear and raisins. In a separate bowl, mix the spinach and lettuce leaves. Sprinkle the lettuce mix with the gorgonzola, then top with the mango mixture.

For this recipe, I recommend serving it with the Good Seasons dressing. Although I enjoy most of the fruit-based dressings (including Neuman's), most have a very strong flavor that would not do well alongside this already flavorful salad. The Good Seasons vinagrette is just light enough, and yet still flavorful, to be a good complement to this mix.

John, who is not known to be a salad lover - particularly when it is a side salad competing with a main course of filet mignon, as it was when I put this together on Sunday night - cleaned his salad bowl on this one!

That sounds so good. Now I gotta add mangos to the shopping list.

Thanks for the recipe!
