I made this for part of our Christmas dinner this year. It was a huge hit; everyone LOVED it. I added some toasted walnuts to it for a bit of crunch. It couldn't be easier and tastes elegant.

Have loved this since it was printed in a BHG sometime last winter. I have used both shaved and shredded parm and both work. I prefer the shaved as there is more flavor in larger shavings that compliment the pears. I also enjoy adding a few walnuts or pecans.

Love this my new favorite thing this summer. I added grilled chicken and used shredded parm. The shredded isn't as pretty but its easier to ensure you get a little in every bite this way.
