    A nice, light, refreshing salad that we served alongside some grilled steaks. We also enjoyed the different take on the vinaigrette.

    I made this salad to go along with the hamburgers we grilled. I wanted something crunchy but not fried. This fit the bill very well. I really enjoyed the pears with the blend of flavors in the dressing. The carrots were good too, but I found myself scooping out more pears. I guess it must be my sweet tooth. At first, my family expressed that the salad was 'interesting' in a good way. They had just never had this combination of flavors before. I don't use much curry in my cooking. After the salad was tossed with the dressing, I drizzled a bit more honey over the entire top to add just a bit more sweetness. Again, it's the sweet tooth. I would make this salad again for company as it is very colorful and unique.
