Pear Salad with Bacon and Feta

I made this salad last night. I had some pears that were ripe and I knew I wanted some sort of salad.  The sweetness of the pears with the salty cheese and smoky bacon work so well together. The addition of toasted nuts adds just that extra something that works in this dish. I used walnuts this time, but would love this salad with pecans, too. Serve over greens for a great and easy meal or a wonderful first course.
