Warm Blue Cheese Salad

1.2K

I first had a dish similar to this warm blue cheese salad at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in LA – where they filmed Pretty Woman. It was so good that I had to create my own version of it when I returned home. 

The sweet candied pecans are the finishing touch for sure. When I first made this dish for my husband Phillip, he looked at me puzzled and then said “Did you mean to grill the lettuce”? then he tasted it and he did not need me to answer!!
