Bartlett Pear, Avocado, and Baby Kale Salad

"This salad is all about textures; the watery crunch of the romaine, the creamy avocado, the pop and chew of the toasted pumpkin seeds, all blend together to make each bite as satisfying as the last. There is nothing particularly fancy about this salad but it is so delightful to look at with its many shades of green and such a refreshing blend of tart, sweet, and slightly bitter that it never gets boring. Plus it features the season’s first Bartlett pears 🍐 I know there are fancier pears out there, but none as perfectly juicy and joyful to eat."
