"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 have seen and tasted this dish first hand. It was delicious! The combination of flavors and texture were amazing. Although the recipe is written well I doubt anyone could recreate such an amazing dish.
