Autumn brings us a bounty of delicious fall fruits. Apples, pears, and cranberries make a wonderful combination. Lots of beautiful textures and flavors in this salad: fresh fruits, dried cranberries, blue cheese, red onion and a little balsamic vinegar. Both tart and sweet, this salad make a great salad to start a meal or can be used as a side dish to accompany chicken or pork.
