Description

This salad is so, so good! Roasting the walnuts adds amazing flavor. Ive made it with the pear, but also substituted peach for the pear and liked it even better! A great salad to make variations on.

My relatives and friends absolutely rave about this salad. Its pretty and tastes delicious. I dip the cut pears in lemon juice to prevent browning and sometimes use champagne vinegar instead of apple cider. This is a great salad for holiday meals.
