Directions
Spinach Pear Salad from Restaurateur, Tom Douglas, This salad is perfect. AND the curried cashews make outstanding appetizers, garnishes, snacks or gifts; the honey-sesame dressing can be used on any number of salads. The contrast of colors, flavors and textures is inspired. Tom Douglas is chef and owner of 4 Seattle eateries and this salad has been on his menu., Wonderful salad! I think the seasoned nuts make it outstanding, although used pecans. I’m sure it’s wonderful as is, but for my own reference, I made these substitutions: apples, not pears. Regular yellow mustard, no rosemary on the nuts, no frisee., I only put 3 TEAspoons of mustard in the dressing and it was enough. Instead of the spinach use kale finely chopped and couscous. Delicious.
