I love adding fruit to my salads in the fall and winter. Ripe pears are the perfect addition and add a great amount of color and sweetness. If your salad is going to sit for a little bit before serving, you can lightly toss the pears in a teaspoon of olive oil before adding them to the salad to prevent them from browning. Serve this salad with a simple whole roasted chicken and mashed potatoes for a balanced fall meal.
