Everyone enjoyed this salad, but just to note: a quart of oil is absurd, and once the pear halves are marinated in the lemon juice you really won't need to add more to the salad.

I made it according to the recipe directions, and then, the second time, I also carmelized some bananas, and used Ken's Healthy Honey Dijon Dressing mixed with EVOO to coat the greens for an entirely new flavor and appearance. Both ways were excellent!
