Goat Cheese Salad with Pear
This Pear & Goat Cheese Salad with homemade Honey Tarragon Vinaigrette is wholesome, elegant, and comes together in just 15 minutes! I love making this salad for holiday parties or fall and winter get togethers. It's the perfect side dish that everyone always loves! The tangy, creamy goat cheese pairs perfectly with the crisp, sweet pears, crunchy walnuts, and bold sliced shallots. The sweet and subtle dressing compliments all that fresh goodness. You'll love every single bite!
