Roasting pears takes little effort yet garners big results. Pair roasted pears with fresh greens and a warmed round of soft goat cheese that’s encrusted with crunchy chopped peanuts, and you have a salad that’s a perfect balance of texture and flavor.

Chef and cookbook author Virginia Willis, author of “Bon Appetit, Y’all” and the creator of this delectable salad, notes that “it makes for a perfect combination that can be enjoyed by the whole family.”
