PEAR & WALNUT SALAD WITH BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE



Pear & Walnut Salad With Balsamic Vinaigrette image

I came up with this salad recipe for Father's Day, and it was a huge hit. I strongly recommend recipe #154351 and recipe #323254 in this!! (I used both walnuts and pecans when making the candied nuts.) It's really pretty if you can get yellow pear tomatoes and use a red pepper, or vise versa.
