HAZELNUT AND PEAR SALAD



Hazelnut and Pear Salad image

My husband, daughter and I raise hazelnuts in the Willamette Valley-so this salad is a family favorite. Since our home state of Oregon grows pears and cherries, too, I included them in the recipe I dreamed up. -Karen Kirsch, Saint Paul, Oregon

ASIAN PEAR FRUIT SALAD

This is a beautiful fall salad--easy, clean tasting, and elegant. You could add seeds from 1/2 a vanilla bean, or some cinnamon or cardamom, but totally unnecessary. May garnish with a little mint. Thanks to my friend Karin for this recipe.
