Pear Salad

My friend Marilyn suggested this would be a great entrée salad with the addition of chicken. I concur. I think grilled and sliced chicken breast would be great. I'm not sure where I bought my pear vinegar; I think I got it at one of the local wineries, but don't hold me to it! I found it on line here: http://www.grapevinetrading.com/vinegars.html.
