Made this yesterday for the Fourth:

Turned it into a pasta salad by adding a box of cooked rotini noodles, also fresh mozzarella pearls and halved cherry tomatoes.
It was beautiful and I served it room temp but it would also be good cold for a picnic. I'm planning to add chicken and take it for lunch and eat it cold today.2 -

This pear and blue cheese salad is lovely. It would work great with rotisserie chicken or grilled flank steak.
