Curred Cashews, Pears and Grape Salad image

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. So, I cannot take credit for coming up with it on my own, but it is a family favorite. I shared this recipe with both my family and my in-laws and it has always been a huge hit! Combines a warm spicy mixture with a dijon dressing! It really is so different and yummy!
