Sweet Pear and Gorgonzola Salad with Rocket, Watercress, Walnuts, and orange-Flower Honey

This salad first appeared in Robin Leach’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (1986) cookbook and became an instant hit in my restaurants because the intense flavor of the pears is concentrated by long and slow heating.

If you can find Zante or Champagne grapes, they are the perfect garnish for this dish, but Concords would not be bad either.
