Served this at a sparkling-wine tasting party we just hosted, and four people noted to me how much they enjoyed it. Honey-Shallot dressing paired nicely with the sweetness of the champagnes we tried. Be sure the pears are fully ripe.

You can subsititue the Apples for the Pears and Pecans for the Pine Nuts for another wonderful entertaining salad.

Suggested winter/fall variation: Add walnuts instead of pine nuts, and add dried cherries instead of tomatoes. Delicious!

Made dressing ahead 1 day and refrigerated -- brought it to room temperature before serving. Terrific combination of flavors; will definitely be making this again.
