This salad is a great way to use up leftover pears. I always have a few pears lying around, so this is a perfect recipe for me.

This salad was a bit too expensive to make for a weeknight meal. I think I'll save it for a special occasion.

I'm not a big fan of arugula, so I used spinach instead. It was still delicious.

I'm allergic to walnuts, so I substituted pecans in this recipe. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my salad didn't turn out as good as the one in the picture. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The pears in this salad were not ripe enough. They were hard and crunchy, which made the salad unpleasant to eat.
