"Caramelizing the pears just adds a new dimention to this kind of salad. I used Asian pears because they are firmer and hold up better when sautéing. Also, the origional recipe did not call for sugar in the dressing, but I felt it was way too tart so I kept adding sugar, teaspoon by teaspoon, until I got the right taste. My guests were very complimentary."
