endive, pear & walnut salad with raspberry vinaigrette

Well, I made this salad with hazelnuts instead of walnuts, and spring mix instead of watercress and endive. New Seasons was out of endive. I did buy some watercress, but it was so strong and peppery tasting that I could barely finish one leaf. I guess all I ended up making from the recipe was the dressing, which was very good. Check out the recipe here. I have to say, though, homemade salad dressings are the best, for sure, but there's no sense going out and buying ingredients for them. It's the most fun to just make them up on your own, and anything would taste good with pears and hazelnuts.
