In this sweet-meets-savory salad, pears appear in two ways. They are buzzed into a tangy, ginger-spiked sesame dressing—the perfect use for slightly overripe pears. The creaminess of the pear texture allows for much less oil to be used, making this a reduced-fat dressing that you’ll want to keep in your fridge for drizzling over simple greens, too.
The dressing is tossed with luscious chunks of perfectly ripe pears, tart mandarin oranges, crunchy cucumbers, and creamy avocado for a salad that celebrates texture and wonderful simplicity.
