My wife’s mother-in-law taught her children how to cook using this recipe. It is quite simple to make and one of my husband’s favorite meals.

Delicious salad I used an entire container of arugula, whole container of blue cheese crumbles, sliced a whole pear with skin intact, and lightly fried up a whole container of sliced prosciutto. poured the entire container of chive dressing and tossed the entire collection together. Served with freshly baked bread and butter. FABULOUS!!!! would also be good with sliced hard boiled egg. Next time!
