Instructions: Wash and dry Boston lettuce. Arrange 2 or 3 leaves on a salad plate.

If you are lucky enough to have fresh, ripe pears peel them, cut in half remove seeds and center. (If using canned pears, drain; then follow remainder of directions.) Cut from bottom up in 1/2" slices - DO NOT SLICE THROUGH. Place pear on top of lettuce and fan it out.

Drizzle Raspberry Pecan Dressing (I used Kens Fat Free) over pear. You dont need much. Sprinkle toasted pecans on top.

You can prepare the lettuce and pears the morning of your dinner. Cover with plastic wrap. Add dressing and pecans just before serving.
