Roasted Pear Salad image

Oven-roasted pears take the ho-hum out of this green salad created by our Test Kitchen staff. They tossed together a good-for-you medley of mellow pear slices, crispy greens, nuts and dried cranberries. The creamy dressing carries yet more pear flavor sweetened with just a touch of honey.

I'm not a big fan of goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still delicious!
