Pear and Avocado Salad image

This is a unique and interesting combination of pears and avocados that I ran across while looking for salad recipes in my cookbook collection. I made it and was surprised by the resulting tangy sweet salad that blended flavors very well.

This salad is a great way to use up ripe pears. It's also a very healthy and refreshing salad. I love the combination of pears, avocado, and walnuts. The dressing is also very flavorful.

This is a great recipe for a light and healthy lunch or dinner. The pears and avocado add a nice sweetness and creaminess, while the walnuts add a bit of crunch. The dressing is also very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe!

Not bad, but not great. The salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a more savory dressing. The pears were also a bit too firm.

Meh. I found this salad to be a bit bland. The pears were not very flavorful and the avocado was too mushy. The dressing also lacked flavor. I won't be making this again.

This salad is a winner! The pears add a nice sweetness and the avocado makes it creamy and rich. The walnuts add a nice crunch and the dressing is perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again and again.

Easy and refreshing salad! I love that it's light and healthy, yet still satisfying. The dressing is simple but flavorful. I used a mix of arugula and spinach and it worked great.

I was skeptical about the pear and avocado combo, but I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors really complemented each other well. I added a bit of crumbled goat cheese for extra flavor and it was divine. Highly recommend!
