Notes
- The pears - I use bartlett pears for my recipe, but anjou and bosch are both good alternatives.
- The hazelnuts - I buy raw, peeled hazelnuts and roast them myself but you can buy pre roasted nuts if you want to save a step.
- The goat cheese - I buy a small container of goat cheese crumbles but you can also chop up a block of goat cheese to make your own.
- The dressing - If you don't have the ingredients listed above or want to save time, just use a good quality store bought vinaigrette.
