Instructions

1. Cut pears horizontally into 3 or 4 slices depending on the size of your pears. Use a paring knife to cut out the cores. The pieces should look like O's. Leave the stem on the pop piece. Brush slices of pear with lemon juice to keep it from browning.
2. Toss arugula, radishes, walnuts, and blue cheese with vinegar, oil and seasonings.
3. Reassemble the pear, vertically, with the arugula-radish salad in between each slice. Drizzle with honey, and serve.
