As a popular Italian saying goes, “The farmer doesn’t want anyone to know how good cheese and pears are.” There’s a good reason for that: pears are sweet and they pair very well with cheeses such as Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano, and even Feta. This salad is a sweet and tangy mix, with Greek feta, crunchy walnuts and a drizzle of honey.
