For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the walnuts lightly before adding them to the salad. Feel free to experiment with different types of apples and pears. Honeycrisp and Gala apples, or Bosc and Anjou pears work especially well. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a touch more brown sugar to the dressing. This salad is best served chilled, but can be made a day ahead of time. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
