Sweet and juicy Bartlett pears are perfect for this salad. Ripen them on the counter until they have a delicious “pear” aroma, and then refrigerate until it’s time to make the salad.
Ingredients
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
1⁄4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
3 firm-ripe pears, such as Bartlett, cored and cut in bite-size chunks
2 cups shredded or thinly sliced cabbage
1⁄3 cup thinly sliced celery
1⁄3 cup coarsely chopped pecans, toasted
1⁄3 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
1. Whisk oil and 3 tablespoons lemon juice together in a small bowl. Add salt and pepper.
2. Combine pears and remaining lemon juice in a large bowl. Add cabbage, celery, pecans, cranberries and oil mixture and mix gently. Serve on lettuce leaves. Serves 8.
