Asian Pear, Fennel, and Walnut Salad

Rating: Unrated

The quality of the walnuts can make or break this dish, so be sure to taste them first (farmers' markets are an excellent source of fresh nuts; store in the freezer after buying). Prep Time: 20 minutes. Notes: Pears turn brown after they're peeled or cut, so make this salad right before serving (or put cut pears in a bowl of water with some lemon juice added to it; drain pears and pat dry before using).
