I love this slaw as a side to a cheese fondue. It's a nice contrast to the richness of the fondue. I don't add the chiles to it as it would not work well with the fondue. I have also made it with celeriac instead of celery. Works just fine.

My husband bought two HUGE Asian pears on a whim, because "they looked soooo good!" We brainstormed and thought "slaw"! We had visions of a Waldorf salad (with mayo and nuts) in our heads. How lucky we were to come across this beautiful recipe! Delicious! After two bites, Hubby is already naming all of the places he wants to take this dish. Thank you!

I am thinking about making this salad again using some dried Shingo pears that I got from Trader Joe's. Do you think that would work out well?

Yummy hot weather salad. Because I didn't have enough celery, I added some jicima.

This recipe is reason enough to plant a couple of Asian pear trees in your yard. Yummy! Have made it many times, with and without cilantro, always to great reviews. It's light, refreshing and delish.

What a fine discovery this reciep is. I thought it rated 3- forks, but my husband clearly thought it was a 4- forker. He loved it and even used the work innovative to describe it. It is a very tasty, fres, late summer dish. I will definitely make it again, expecially since there are 5- more Asian-pears sitting here.

I hate celeries so I never use those,and I often add the pre-bagged cole slaw mix to this but this is an endlessly adaptable recipe that works as a side dish to pretty much any meat dishes. Fresh, summery, and healthy.

I found that I needed to add more celery (approx double) to achieve a better ratio. This was EXCELLENT with a bbq Asian main dish (we did hoisin ribs).

realized today that I reviewed this more than 6 yrs ago--I make this recipe so often these days I forgot that I found it on this site; I can do it from memory! This is now a standard part of help-guests-recover-from- jet-lag menu (a la Laurie Colwin), with BLT sandwich made with arugula and some beer. Works like a charm, no kidding.

I've made this twice with no changes. A little goes a long way, but it's so refreshing and every one liked it a lot. It's unusual and low fat.

The dressing was refreshing, but I was unimpressed with the dish as a whole. Used regular pears when I could not find Asian pears and maybe that was my mistake. I also took the advice of other cooks and added mango, but it didn't help.

Light and refreshing. Took to a champagne tasting and everyone loved it.
