Notes

Use ripe but firm pears for the texture.
You can use pecans instead of walnuts.
You can add spinach or arugula for a peppery taste.
For a complete meal, add grilled or shredded chicken.
Serve the pear salad fresh. To prep ahead, keep dressing separate until serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
For a milder onion flavor, you can soak them in cold water for 10 minutes before adding them to the salad.
