Chef's Notes

Substitutions
In place of pear, use apple.

Instead of cabbage, try red bell pepper or jicama.

Type of pear
You can use Bartlett, Anjou, Bosc or any pear you love. It’s important that it’s ripe but firm and not too mushy.

Sugar-free
Use date paste in place of maple syrup.

Prep Ahead
Prepare the dressing ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
