The presentation of this salad can be elegant or rustic. We chose the elegant route, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t toss all of these ingredients together in a big bowl and make a delicious chopped salad. The creaminess of the avocado combined with the crisp pear is refreshing but decadent. Get creative with the garnishes and seeds, if you like.
