Stopping by from MJ's Kitchen to say hello! You have a beautiful site! And this salad looks incredible. I love adding fruit to a salad, especially in the winter. It just makes it feel more special. Your photos are just lovely! : )

Ah, bummer! It annoys me to discover expired food items when I need them. Did you end up using the vinegar at the end? Sometimes I would ignore the expiry date if it doesn't look bad and smell funny;)

Yesterday I was about to use balsamic vinegar and found out that it was already expired for the past 6 months (and I was using it!). I love capers (did I tell you about it before?) and this sounds like it's meant for me!!! I drool thinking about dressing. Hehee.

Hi Reese,
Long time! This salad looks gorgeous with all those colors and textures. Capers and pear is such a great salty-sweet combination here. I appreciate that you are thinking about healthy salad ideas amid all the meat marathon during the holidays :)
Happy Holidays to you and your family!Have fun and stay warm!

What a sweet, tangy, crunchy salad! I'll be cooking at the in-laws this year and I really think they would love this! MY MIL loves anything with a touch of sweetness and my FIL loves anything. :) I know it's a salad that Bobby and I would eat every day of the week if we could find asparagus here. And the caramelized pears - one of my most favorite things to eat! Lovely salad! I hope you two have a wonderful Christmas! Stay warm and healthy, laugh out loud, and give the ones you love lots and lots of hugs!

Hi Nina - Haricot verts would work fine with this salad. Food choices are very often personal, so feel free to give it a try. You may want to blanch the beans first before cooking it with the pears. To keep it crisp & tender at the same time. Another variety is to use only the pears and add some fresh spinach. If you like a touch of festive pop of colors, consider grapes or dried cranberries. Even brussel sprouts could work with the combination as well. Just remember to adjust the cooking time. Have fun!

Would this also be nice with some haricot verts instead of the asparagus?

Fantastic! I love caramelized pears.
