Treat your friends to this Beef Veggie Salad with Pear Gorgonzola Dressing for Lunch.

The tricks to getting the most out of the presentation of this salad is to use a vegetable spiralizer.  

The salad was ready in a flash. Great for busy days when time is at a premium.  You can use any veggies you like.  I added tangerine slices, avocados and normal salad veggies. 

The real taste sensation in the salad is the Litehouse Pear Gorgonzola salad dressing.   The dressing has just 50 calories for 2 tablespoons and tastes yummy.

I found this Litehouse dressing in the organic section of my local Kroger supermarket but it’s also available at some Walmart, Target and Hannaford grocery stores.   You could also make a home made Pear Gorgonzola dressing by combining these ingredients for a recipe that I found on Food Network:

• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons pear nectar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
• Half a 6-ounce ripe red Bartlett pear, peeled, cored and diced
• 1/2 cup coarsely crumbled gorgonzola cheese
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt, plus extra for seasoning
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning

The salad was delicious and I loved the way the spiralized vegetables look on top of the greens.  Definitely a winner and it’s really worth looking for this wonderful dressing too.
