Red Cabbage, Walnut and Pear Salad with Date and Balsamic Sauce

Figs & Fennel

This is a bold and hearty salad for the winter months. The cabbage, celery, and walnuts work together to give a satisfying crunch while the slightly spicy date and balsamic sauce adds a richness which, combined with the sweetness of the pear, make for a sumptuous salad to bring cheer to even the cold and gloomy days.

1 pear for the dressing
