A recipe for escarole pear and roquefort salad

A favourite of mine from my Kensington Place days. I have seen many variations over the past 30 years, but this is the original version. If no escarole is available, endives make a good substitute. Other blue cheeses lack the ripping acidity that makes this such a hit.
