In the height of summertime, pears offer a crisp and refreshing element in salads. Their porous texture sops up tangy dressings like a flavor sponge, and that sweet pear perfume enhances nearly any combination of summer vegetables. Cucumbers are a particularly nice “pearing” in raw salads, and if you have a spiralizer, both cucumbers and pears are ideal for turning into twirly, noodle-like strands. This crunchy salad is a take on that classic sweet-and-sour cucumber recipe that everyone loves this time of year. If you don’t have a spiralizer, simply slice the pears and cucumbers on a mandoline, or as thinly as you can using a chef’s knife. Partner this crunchy, vibrant salad with fish or shrimp hot off the grill, or bring it to the next potluck picnic.
