This salad was terrible! The pears were mushy and the dressing was way too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This salad was a bit disappointing. The pears were not ripe enough and the dressing was too oily. I think I would have liked it better with a vinaigrette dressing.

This salad was just okay. The pears were not as sweet as I expected and the dressing was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a sweeter dressing.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a variety of pears, including Bartlett, Bosc, and Anjou, and they all worked well. The dressing was simple but flavorful. I would definitely make this salad again.
