This salad was a bit of a disappointment. The pears were not very sweet and the dressing was too bland. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful salad.

This salad was amazing! I loved the combination of sweet and savory flavors. The pears were perfectly ripe and the arugula added a nice peppery kick. The candied walnuts were the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again soon!

Meh. This salad was not my favorite. The pears were too soft and the dressing was too sweet. I think I would have preferred a more savory salad.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think I would have preferred a sweeter pear, like a Bartlett. The candied walnuts were delicious though!

The salad was easy to make and very tasty! I used a honeycrisp pear and the sweetness paired well with the arugula and endive. The candied walnuts were a great addition. I would definitely recommend this recipe.
