CRUNCHY PEAR AND CELERY SALAD
From Eating Well magazine, one of my favorite salads. The flavors blend so well and compliment and the textures are marvelous. If you have the white cheddar with a red pear, the colors are nice. When I get a green pear I just use yellow cheddar.

Steps:
- Soak celery in a bowl of ice water for 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Whisk together in a large bowl the vinegar, maple syrup and salt. Add pears and stir gently to coat. Add celery, cheese and pecans, stirring to combine. Season with pepper.
- Place the 6 lettuce leaves on plates and divide the salad, placing a portion on top of the lettuce on each plate.
- Serve either chilled or at room temperature.
- NOTE: To toast the nuts, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until fragrant and slightly browned (about 2 to 4 minutes).
- VARIATION: Instead of cheddar and pecans, try a good Parmesan and toasted walnuts.
