A fresh and tasty salad. It was quick to assemble - I used a mandoline for thinly slicing the fennel and pears. I skipped celery as another salad at the dinner was white bean and celery - it would be good with or without it. I felt there were too many hazelnuts, much as I love them.

Love this salad. It's my go-to. I've made it with apples. With and without celery. With or without hazelnuts. It's very adaptable and simple enough for me to remember. Love it!

I finally got around to making this salad and it is surprisingly delicious! The balance of flavors and textures were perfect. Because my husband and younger son were very enthusiastic and because it's so easy to throw together, I anticipate making this often.

This salad is a crisp and refreshing option in fall when pears are in season. It's very easy to make, and you can even prepare it in advance, as the ingredients won't quickly wilt like a lettuce-based salad. It's a great choice to pair with a heavier main dish.

Another salad for my work lunches. Delicious!

Delicious! I reduced the lemon. Can reduce the hazelnuts too as neither kid liked them. A little more parm wouldn't hurt either. But regardless this is a great salad.
