For the Salad
For the DRESSING
I know the ingredients for this Pear Salad Dressing seem odd, but please trust me! They create creamy, sweet and tangy seamless magic!
HOW TO MAKE Pear Salad Recipe
This Pear Salad recipe is easy to make in 3 steps. The first two steps can be completed days in advance so the salad can come together quickly when ready to serve:
STEP 1: MAke the Dressing
Whisk all the Pomegranate Dressing ingredients together in a bowl. Make the dressing first so it has time to chill and for the flavors to meld.
STEP 2: Caramelize the Nuts
Add walnuts, sugar and butter to a nonstick skillet and stir constantly. The sugar will begin to clump around the nuts then will melt to envelop the nuts in a smooth buttery sugar coating. Immediately transfer caramelized nuts to parchment paper so they don’t continue to cook and burn. The caramelized nuts will harden as they cool. That’s all the effort required for the delightful sweet crunch that you will crave in every bite!
STEP 3: Combine
Combine all of the salad ingredients in a large bowl. If serving the entire salad immediately, drizzle with desired amount of dressing and toss to coat. If there might be leftovers, dress individual servings. This Pear Salad is a welcome addition to any table and goes with practically EVERYTHING! It makes a particularly delectable addition to any holiday or company mains such as Herb Butter Turkey, Brown Sugar Glazed Ham, Honey Baked Ham, Garlic Herb Butter Pork Tenderloin, Pot Roast, Beef Tips and Gravy,and Slow Cooker Honey Balsamic Roast Beef. It also is wonderful with practically EVERYTHING else that graces your table from Garlic Butter Salmon, to Chicken Divan, to Bolognese, to Crockpot Chili to Million Dollar Mac & Cheese to Oven Fried Chicken.
