This was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different vinaigrette.

Not bad, but not great. I think it needed more seasoning. I'll try it again with some added herbs and spices.

This was so good! I've never had pear in a chicken salad before, but it was a great addition. The maple vinaigrette was also a nice touch.

Easy and delicious! I made this for a picnic and it was a hit. The vinaigrette was tangy and flavorful, and the pears added a nice sweetness. Definitely recommend.

Not a fan of this one. The flavors just didn't come together for me. I found the vinaigrette to be too sweet and the chicken was a bit dry. Maybe I'll try it again with some modifications.

This dish was an absolute delight! The combination of sweet pears, savory chicken, and tangy vinaigrette was perfect. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out beautifully. Will definitely be making this again.
