Once again, my family did the cooking this weekend; I was spoiled!  Some of you may be familiar with the Cosi Signature Salad featuring mixed greens, pears, grapes, dried cranberries, pistachio nuts, and gorgonzola cheese.  My sister used this recipe to replicate the famous salad with a shallot vinaigrette dressing.

The salad was colorful and delicious, with a variety of flavors and textures.  The salad could easily be served on it’s own for a summertime lunch, but on this night it was the perfect complement to a special dinner!
