To round out the end of my first blogiversary I decided to make a remake of a salad I just got at Native Sun yesterday. It was a curry pear salad and pure perfection. Sorry NS but mine came out just as amazing but thank you for the idea!
One thing I would do differently is get a firmer pear. The one I had on hand was so ripe it became a bit mushy but still tasted dang good. Initially I made this as a dessert but it would also be great for a pot luck and it's also my new side for Thanksgiving. You all will love this one.
Curry Pear, Sweet Potato, Walnut Salad
Serves 3
Ingredients
1 pear, sliced lengthwise
1 sweet potato, chopped
1/4 cup walnuts
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp agave
Dash of salt
Curry powder, to taste
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Whisk the curry, salt, agave and olive oil in a medium bowl. Add the pear and potato. Toss to coat.
3. Cook for 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Toss midway through adding the walnuts at this time. Serve warm or cool.
Sending Blog love and I will post a recap of my upcoming night in St Augustine next week!

I love pairing walnuts and pear. I think they are a delicious combo in any dish. I missed your blog-versary. Congrats!
I wouldn't thought of putting pear and sweet potato in salad together, but it sounds yummy, especially with the walnuts.
I' not a big pear fan - how do you think an apple would work? I'm assuming it wouldn't need to be one that wasn't too tart or too sweet of course.
That's a salad and sweet at the same time. It sure looks perfect to me.
Your salad sounds yummy...I've never used curry with something sweet like a pear. I've got to try it.
Happy First Blogiversary!
Oh babe happy bloggiversary! I always adore coming here and am SO glad to have "met" you!
This salad looks like the perfect way to celebrate. I love desserts that are so damn good for you that they can double as side dishes. I made a butternut squash/cranberry/apple bake last year that was similar. And needs very much to be made again.
happy bloggiversary! your salad looks amazing.. I love the combinations and espicially the dressing!
I love sweet potato! I think im going to try this but with cashews instead!!

Happy (belated) blogiversary! :)
I can't stand pears for some reason, but I'm thinking this might taste quite delicious with apples, too? I love the simple recipe - and it looks yummy. :)
Apples would be perfect with this as well! Hmm...I'll try that. Thank you, thank you, thank you all for visiting! Love you guys!
I can't remember how I found your blog...but I'm sure glad I did. This salad looks yummy! I usually am missing a few ingredients of many of the recipes I find around the web...but this one I have all of them. Even my two girls 20 and 17 will like this. Happy belated blogiversary.
I just finished my Curry Pear Salad from Native Sun and decided to do a search for it. I came up with your site. Now I have to check everything out. I'm Vegan, so I'm always looking for good, tasty food. I usually try to make my own recipe from the Native Sun salads, but why reinvent the wheel -- right?
Thanks.
I've loved Native Sun's curried pear salad too! Thought I'd search the web to see if anyone was making it, and so glad I found you! Hoping to make it in the next few days. Yumm!
