use toasted walnuts

The combination of gorgonzola and pears is sublime. It would be even better with a more "robust" nut like pecans or walnuts. This is an easy salad with a simple vinaigrette, the sort of thing you feel like you should be able to figure out on your own but I was happy to find the recipe nonetheless.
