Steps:
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp around edges, 10-12 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 Tbsp. bacon fat from skillet.
- Season pears with salt and pepper and cook in skillet with bacon fat over medium-high, turning occasionally, until golden brown and starting to soften (they should be slightly firm at cores), 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a platter; let cool.
- Meanwhile, whisk vinegar, mustard, and 3 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl to combine; season dressing with salt and pepper. Toss walnuts with remaining 2 tsp. oil in another small bowl; season with salt. Drizzle dressing over pears and scatter walnuts and bacon on top. Just before serving, top with chives.
- Do ahead
- Dish (without chives) can be made 3 hours ahead. Store tightly wrapped at room temperature.

[email protected]I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5. The pears were a bit too soft for my liking, but the bacon and mustard dressing were delicious. I would make it again, but I would cook the pears for a shorter amount of time.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The pears never softened and the bacon burned. The mustard dressing was also way too sweet.
Masood Ahmad
[email protected]Not a fan. The pears were too soft and the bacon was too salty. The mustard dressing was also a bit too tangy for my taste.
Haris Ch
[email protected]Meh. This recipe was just okay. The pears were bland and the bacon was overcooked. The mustard dressing was the only saving grace.

[email protected]This recipe is a keeper! The pears and bacon pair so well together and the mustard dressing is the perfect finishing touch. I served it with a side of roasted potatoes and it was a delicious and satisfying meal.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of pears, but I tried this recipe and was pleasantly surprised. The pears were cooked perfectly and the bacon and mustard dressing really enhanced the flavor. I'll definitely be making this again.

[email protected]This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used pre-cooked bacon to save time and it still turned out great. The mustard dressing is so simple to make and adds a lot of flavor.

[email protected]I made this for a brunch party and it was a huge success. Everyone loved the unique flavor combination. I used red pears instead of green and they added a beautiful pop of color to the dish.
