[...] This summer, while convalescing in bed, using my laptop was one of the few things I could do without . As I caught up with my blog reading, I came across this salad on Bleeding Espresso. [...]

Oooh, I love summer for so many reasons and this is one of them. Summer salads! They are so easy to throw together and you can create all kinds of combinations. Perfect for those of us who don’t cook.

Salads are definitely a great summer treat Rebecca, even for those who cook it’s a great, tasty break from the stove!

I DID have this salad for lunch and LOVED it. I also loved your vinaigrette, which I think is much better than the one found in original recipe. All that sugar! *shudder* Anyway, I’m going to have this salad AGAIN tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe.

Oh I’m so happy you enjoyed it Paz! Thanks for letting me know

I love pears.
I laughed at P’s side dish. Is that what a salad is to him? Just the greens? Is that more the traditional Italian way?
I ,like you, love all the other stuff in my salad. I caramelise nuts a lot but I only use sugar and a hot pan. Works like a charm and yeah it’s a bit naughty but yummy.

Yes Collette, just lettuce. In the summer we’ll have tomatoes, cucumbers and onions a lot, but that’s a whole other salad, you see. Yum on the caramelized nuts…I love getting them at street fairs and whatnot so I’ll have to make them at home sometime too

That’s a gorgeous salad. You take the most amazing photos.

I used to make a pear poached in Zinfandel wine that was pretty killer. I think it had cloves and perhaps a cinnamon stick in there as well. Mmmm.

As soon as I saw this on Shan’s blog I new it was a keeper for me. I *love* pecans in salad… actually in almost everything (I substitute them for walnuts all the time). Looks fantastic! How do you take your photos and what camera do you use. You photography does your food justice.

Thanks Heather! My camera is a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (not the latest model by any means) and honestly it’s *all* the camera b/c I do very little other than point and click. See how I got this camera here, btw…it’s a great story, I promise!
