Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears: Overripe pears will be too soft and mushy, while unripe pears will be hard and flavorless.
- Use a variety of pears: Different varieties of pears have different flavors and textures, so using a mix will add interest and complexity to your salad.
- Slice the pears thinly: This will help them absorb the dressing and make them easier to eat.
- Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing will allow the flavors of the pears and other ingredients to shine through.
- Serve the salad immediately: Pears will start to brown after they are cut, so it's best to serve the salad as soon as possible after making it.
