Roasted Pear Salad Looking for a special side dish for the upcoming holidays?……… Roasted Pear Salad is it! I am a recent convert to fruit on a green salad ...........well recent as in the last 10 years......ok so not so recent, but it is a taste to behold. In my experience, salad was always lettuce,tomato,cucumber.......blah,blah,blah.
