This Pear & Cinnamon Pecan Salad is the perfect blend of savory and sweet! Made with fresh pear slices, cooked chicken, the most delicious homemade candied cinnamon pecans, and a homemade cinnamon vinaigrette dressing to tie it all together. Make it with me!
The key ingredient to making this salad really delicious is making the Candied Cinnamon Pecans! They are a real treat!! I always make a large batch of the nuts so I can have them on a hand for a couple of weeks! They are great added to salads like this, or just plain as a snack!
This recipe is the perfect salad to transition from Summer into Fall! Pears are in season here in Utah in September! It's the perfect blend of savory and sweet.
