Tips
- Choose ripe but firm pears and apples for the best texture and flavor. Avoid fruits that are too soft or bruised.
- For extra crunch, toast the walnuts lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the salad.
- If you want to prep ahead, slice the fruits and store them in lemon water to prevent browning.
- Use a high-quality balsamic vinaigrette or make your own for the freshest taste.
- For a protein boost, consider adding grilled chicken or crispy bacon to the salad.
- Serve immediately after dressing to keep the greens crisp and prevent wilting.
- Experiment with different types of mixed greens like arugula or spinach for variety.
