Curred Cashews, Pears and Grape Salad image

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. So, I cannot take credit for coming up with it on my own, but it is a family favorite. I shared this recipe with both my family and my in-laws and it has always been a huge hit! Combines a warm spicy mixture with a dijon dressing! It really is so different and yummy!

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. The dressing was also a bit too thick, but I think that could be fixed by adding a little more liquid. Overall, I thought this salad was good, but n

This salad was okay. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the cashews and pears were good. I think I would have liked it better with a different dressing.

This salad was a disappointment. The dressing was too sweet and the cashews were too crunchy. I also didn't like the combination of pears and grapes. I won't be making this again.
