This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. The pears and raspberries are a great combination and the glazed walnuts add a nice touch. I highly recommend this recipe!

This salad was a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. The glazed walnuts added a nice crunch and the dressing was light and tangy. I would definitely make this salad again.
