We love how this fruit salad recipe has been passed through generations and adapted along the way. The mixture of fruit, the crunch of the apples, and the texture of the walnuts make this an amazing fruit salad. The oranges and pineapple are nicely balanced with the other fruit flavors. Things get special with the creamy dressing. Adding spices to the Cool Whip mixture is a nice surprise. Cinnamon and clove are subtle, but a great addition. The marshmallows soak up all the goodness from the fruits and dressing. We can totally see how the family can get together to make this as a team.

With creamy goat cheese, candied walnuts and a tangy champagne vinaigrette, this Crisp and Sweet Pear Salad is ready in just 15 minutes.

Crisp and Sweet Pear Salad

pears

green leaf lettuce, chopped

red onion, thinly sliced

pomegranate arils (seeds)

pumpkin seeds

goat cheese, crumbled

walnuts

pure honey or maple syrup

cinnamon

salt

grapeseed oil

olive oil

champagne vinegar

Dijon mustard (optional,

honey

shallot,

thyme

Salt and pepper,

Prep the Pears and Onion: Thinly slice the pears and onion. Set them aside.

Candy the Walnuts: In a non-stick pan or skillet, combine honey or maple syrup, water, cinnamon and salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the mixture begins to bubble and the seasonings are fully dissolved. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring frequently, until they're evenly coated and lightly caramelized. Transfer to parchment paper and let cool completely.

Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, shaker or jar, combine the grapeseed oil, olive oil, champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey or maple syrup, shallot, thyme, salt and pepper. Whisk or shake until smooth, then adjust the seasonings to taste.

Dress the Lettuce: Lightly toss the chopped lettuce with a small amount of the champagne vinaigrette to evenly coat.

Assemble the Salad: In a large serving bowl, layer the dressed lettuce as the base. Add the pears, onion, pomegranate arils, goat cheese, pumpkin seeds and candied walnuts. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill briefly if desired. Pair with your favorite protein or enjoy it on its own as a light, nutritious meal.

Store Properly: For leftovers, store the ingredients separately in airtight containers to maintain freshness. Keep the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
