🍐 Asian Pear Salad with Endive and Walnuts

My lovely neighbor had an abundance of Asian Pears and gifted some to me. Asian Pears have a gifting history across China, Japan and Korea as symbols of respect, purity, good fortune, longevity and abundance. All of these are qualities in short supply and you can send them in my direction, for sure. What’s more, they encouraged the preparation of a healthy lunch – since I have time to prep during the day.
