HAZELNUT AND PEAR SALAD

Tips:
- To select ripe pears, look for fruits that give slightly to gentle pressure and have a sweet aroma.
- If you don't have a salad spinner, you can dry the lettuces by patting them between layers of paper towels or clean dish towels.
- To save time, you can buy pre-sliced almonds or chopped hazelnuts.
- If you don't have crystallized ginger, you can substitute candied ginger or finely chopped fresh ginger.
- Make sure to use good quality olive oil for the dressing to get the best flavor.
- The salad is best served immediately after assembling, as the lettuce can wilt if it sits for too long.
