Endive, Pear & Walnut Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette
Recipe from Vegetarian Times

30 minutes or fewer. This salad calls for Asian pears, also known as Chinese or apple pears. They combine the sweet, mellow flavor of a pear with the crispness of an apple. They're available at many large supermarkets, but if you can't find them, Bartlett or Anjou pears are equally delicious.
