The fact that this salad was invented for a holiday is loudly stated by the award-winning products used in the recipe: blue cheese, smoked bacon, and the taste of the pear has an innate nobility. And so that all the flavors are related and mixed more tightly, some of the products are fried in one frying pan: first the bacon, and then the pear, in the same bacon fat, which is why the fruit pulp acquires a smoked aroma. You can use any greens, the main thing is that they can withstand the pressure of warm ingredients and reach the table fresh and vigorous: you can rely on arugula and spinach, their dense leaves do not sour or wither from the heat.
