Notes
- Slice Pears Thinly: Thin slices distribute sweetness evenly and keep the salad light.
- Toast the Walnuts: Lightly toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds extra crunch.
- Dress Just Before Serving: Add the vinaigrette right before tossing to keep the greens fresh and crisp.
- Adjust Dressing Amount: Start with less dressing and add more as needed to avoid overdressing.
- Serve Immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh to maintain texture and color.
