Asian pears look like yellow-green or russet-colored apples. They have the same firm juiciness as apples, but their texture reminds me more of jicama.

I like their crunch and their light, sweet flavor. Both qualities work well in this salad. I prefer the yellow-green variety for it.

Slice the pears just before tossing the salad so they don’t oxidize and discolor.
