Notes

To toast walnuts: Place in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Alternatively, place in a sauté pan over medium heat and toast for 4-5 minutes or until golden.

Make Ahead: If you're wanting to make this salad ahead of time, the walnuts, cranberries and goat cheese can be prepped in advance. I would recommend slicing the apples and pears right before serving to prevent browning. You can make the dressing a week in advance if you want! Just give it a good shake before you use it to re-emulsify everything.

Add Protein: Feel free to add some protein to this salad to make a more hearty meal. This Lemon Herb Chicken would be perfect!
