    My family adores this recipe! My mother-in-law asks me to make it for every family event now. I use Splenda instead of sugar. Pecans work just as well as walnuts, I've tried both. And our favorite cheese with this salad is Manchego. I like to use bosc pears (the brown firm ones), on the recommendation of our produce guy at the grocery store. And I like to dip the halved pears in the dressing before slicing and putting on the plate because it keeps them from browning. Fabulous presentation and taste with very little trouble.

    This is a fabulous salad recipe. I served at a dinner party and everyone raved about. Very attractive on the salad plates too.
