This salad is equal parts sweet, bitter, salty and bright. All while being crisp, tender and refreshing. It's everything I want in a winter salad, plus it uses a unique twist on a pear vinaigrette to make it something truly special. This was inspired by one of my favorite restaurant salads, and I feel it has earned a restaurant-quality label!
