Roasted Pear Salad image

Oven-roasted pears take the ho-hum out of this green salad created by our Test Kitchen staff. They tossed together a good-for-you medley of mellow pear slices, crispy greens, nuts and dried cranberries. The creamy dressing carries yet more pear flavor sweetened with just a touch of honey.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted pears. It's also a great make-ahead salad - the flavors really meld together overnight.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. The roasted pears didn't have much flavor and the dressing was too light.

This salad was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a more savory dressing.

This salad was easy to make and turned out great! I used a mix of red and green pears, and they were both delicious. The dressing was also really good - I used a little less honey than the recipe called for, and it was perfect.
