Healthy Autumn Salad Recipe

This healthy fall salad recipe calls for a classic combination of sweet and sour - the sweet supplied by ripe pears, and the sour by pickles and vinaigrette. Jicama strips add a refreshing and delightful crunch to the mix.

Although you can use any variety of pears for this recipe, we like it best with Bosc or Bartlett pears.
