Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it could use a bit more seasoning.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it a day or two ahead of time and it will still be delicious.

I love how versatile this salad is. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add a bit of chopped red onion and avocado.

I love the crunch of the jicama in this salad. It's a great contrast to the soft pears.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pears. I had a few pears that were starting to get soft, so I decided to make this salad and it turned out great!

This salad is an explosion of flavors and textures. The sweet pears and crisp jicama are perfectly complemented by the tangy dressing. I added a bit of chopped cilantro for an extra pop of freshness.
