Recipe View Assemble the Salad: In a large salad bowl, gently toss the mixed salad greens with the prepared vinaigrette. Add the thinly sliced pear, halved seedless red grapes, and crispy bacon. Sprinkle the cashew mixture over the salad. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add toasted pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for added crunch.
If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spice.
The salad is best served immediately after assembling to prevent the greens from wilting.
Try using different types of pears or grapes for a variation in flavor and texture.
