Fall salads are a favorite of mine. I like to feature the unique seasonal ingredients that make their presence known at the farmers market this time of year. They are often easily put together and offer big flavor.
When I first put these ingredients together, I wanted to add a little spin on the familiar. I added an Asian pear, with its yellowish-green skin and a white, juicy interior that has a crisp, refreshing flavor. I also included a sweet fall apple as a contrast to the slightly grainy Asian pear texture.
