I'm not a big fan of bacon, but I really enjoyed this salad. The pears and vinaigrette were so flavorful that I didn't even miss the bacon.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pears. It's also a great make-ahead salad. Just assemble the salad and dressing ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When you're ready to serve, just toss the salad and drizzle with the dressing
