This is my new favorite salad! It's so refreshing and flavorful. I love the combination of sweet and tart flavors. I've already made it twice this week!

Not a fan of this salad. The pears were too soft and the dressing was too sweet. I think I'll stick to my regular salad recipe.

The salad was easy to make and turned out great! The dressing was a bit too tart for my taste, but I just added a little honey to balance it out. Overall, I'm really happy with how this recipe turned out.

This salad was an absolute delight! The combination of pears, cranberries, and walnuts was perfect, and the dressing was tangy and flavorful. I especially loved the crunch of the walnuts. I'll definitely be making this again!
