Preparation
- To make the pear salad, peel and quarter the pears. Cut away the cores and cut each quarter into 3 slices. Toss in a bowl with salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar and oil. Refrigerate for 1 hour, tossing ingredients at least once more.
- To make the celery root salad, place the celery root in a bowl and mix in the mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. This salad can be made ahead and refrigerated.
- To assemble the salad, place the lettuce in a bowl. Add a little of the vinaigrette from the pears and toss to coat the leaves. Divide the lettuce among 4 plates. Fan the pears in a circle around the lettuce. Place a small mound of the celery root salad in the center of each plate. Serve immediately
