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.

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