For extra flavor, toast the cashews lightly before candying. If you don't have dried cherries, cranberries or raisins make a great substitute. Use a high-quality balsamic vinegar for a richer vinaigrette. To prevent the pears from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice before adding them to the salad. The candied cashews can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container.
