Pear and Parmesan Salad

September 12, 2012 By admin 2 comments

Welcome! Are you a subscriber? Click here to receive my weekly newsletter. Thanks for visiting!


I knew the moment that I put my hands on the Fall issue of Edible Indy Magazine, that I would find several new and exciting dishes to add to my fall lineup.  Edible Indy is a favorite of mine. Not just for the food and photography, but for the simple reason that most of the featured restaurants and foods are some of my favorites, or places my husband and I like to visit.

Please visit their site when you have a chance.  My description will not do it justice:)

The first recipe I made was the Pear and Parmesan Salad.  The picture drew me in, and the bacon! I knew this straight up salad would be a hit and it was. Since then I have made it using dried cranberries and Gorgonzola cheese in lieu of the Parmesan cheese.  It was simply delicious!

I would like to thank Chef Ryan Nelson for this wonderful offering. You can find Chef Nelson at Late Harvest Kitchen in Indianapolis, Indiana.
