Favorite-Flavors Salad
We set out to make a cobb salad but got distracted by some of our favorite nibbles -- slices of pear, toasted walnuts, pickled onions. The result is a salad that's so much fun you barely notice it's a well-balanced meal. For a dramatic presentation, arrange the ingredients in strips over the lettuce, cobb-salad style, then toss the salad at the table.
