Bibb Lettuce Salad with Pears and Blue Cheese

This fall salad paired beautifully with a roast chicken for dinner tonight. This makes more salad dressing than you'll really need.

Ingredients:
1/2 head of butter lettuce
1 pear - I used a red bartlett
2-3 oz of good quality blue cheese - I used Maytag Blue
2 ribs of celery, chopped
1/4 of a red onion, finely diced
1/2tsp dijon
1/2 tsp mayo
1 Tbs lemon juice
3 Tbs olive oil

Cut your lettuce to bite sized chunks, add celery, red onion and chopped pear. In a small bowl, mix lemon juice, mayo and dijon. Whisk olive oil in in a steady stream to create an emusion. Add additional lemon juice and salt/pepper to taste.

Crumble blue cheese on salad, toss with dressing and serve.
