    Saw this last weekend and couldn't wait to try it. The vinaigrette is perfect! Make sure to use fresh potent curry powder, preferably with at least medium heat. I added another pear after reading other reviews, was glad I did. Thanks, Giada!

    This was good, but thought there were way too many carrots. I would have liked it to have more pears. I even used three pears instead of two, but still would have liked more pears than that! Also, the dressing wasn't THAT flavorful. It was okay, but I felt like something was missing. It could have been sweeter or saltier or both, not sure what... I also was not a fan of the fresh parsley and the flavor it added to this.

    If I make this again, I am using a LOT less carrots and MORE pears.

    Update: As leftovers, it's a bit tastier since it has had time to sit in the fridge and soak up the flavors.
