Use the Atkins recipe to make Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette for this recipe.  You will need 4 tablespoons or 1/4 cup.  This salad is delicious served with salmon.
  
  1. Toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet for about 15 minutes or toast on a sheet pan in an oven at 350°F (stir 2-3 times for both methods); allow to cool and gently rub off outer skin, coarsely chop, and set aside.  
  2. Make the Maple-Dijon Vinaigrette and toss 4 tablespoons with the arugula and Gorgonzola cheese.  Transfer to serving plates.  
  3. Arrange the pear slices in a fan on top and sprinkle with hazelnuts.
