This salad is a waste of time and ingredients. Don't bother making it.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for celery. I think it would be better without it.

This is not a good salad for people with a nut allergy.

This salad is not very filling. I would recommend serving it as a side dish or appetizer.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the dressing.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of celery, but I really enjoyed this salad. The pears and dressing helped to offset the celery flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pears. I also like to add some chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit at potlucks. I usually add a bit of crumbled blue cheese to mine for extra flavor.

This salad was a refreshing and delicious side dish to my grilled chicken. The pears and celery added a nice crunch, and the dressing was light and tangy. I will definitely be making this again!
