Tips:

  • Use a good quality Asiago cheese. A sharp, flavorful Asiago will add a nice depth of flavor to the salad.
  • Toast the cashews before adding them to the salad. This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a light dressing. A vinaigrette or a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing is all you need to let the flavors of the salad shine through.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the pears will start to brown and the cashews will soften over time.
