Pear Cranberry Walnut Salad is a wonderful fall or winter salad.
One of my husband’s favorite salads when we eat out is pear salad, so when I saw the first pears of the season at our local farmer’s market, I bought a bag and tried to recreate the salad he had on a recent vacation. Â I watched anxiously as he ate it…not a piece of leafy green left on his plate! Â
