If you’re looking to bring some new salads to the table this fall, consider what the pear can do for you. Pears are one of our favorite ways to lend a salad some allure. They stand up well to poaching or roasting and come in tons of varieties to experiment with. Pears are also considered a low glycemic food and a great source of fiber and other nutrients like copper, vitamin C, and vitamin K.
