Asian Pear–Shiso Salad With Quinoa

Asian PearShiso Salad With Quinoa recipe

This layered winter salad is a study in delightful textures: Crisp and juicy Asian pear is served over creamy Greek yogurt—enhanced with honey, lime juice, and black sesame paste (or tahini) for nuttiness and complexity—and finished with a shower of quinoa. It’s inspired by the Asian pear–stuffed shiso leaves that are a frequent appetizer at Danielle Bell and Pablo Osorio’s de Porres Dinner Series events and private chef gigs.
