Walnut, Pear & Green Leaf Salad
This elegant salad combines sweet sliced pears, toasted walnuts, and mixed greens for a refreshing starter or side dish. A tangy dressing made with walnut oil, lemon juice, and grainy mustard brings the flavors together. The crisp fruit and crunchy nuts provide a wonderful textural contrast against the tender salad leaves. It works beautifully for a dinner party or a quick weeknight meal.
