Pear & Sage Cheddar Salad, University of New Hampshire

Using products from a campus garden and other local sources creates opportunities for lots of new, fresh flavors. At the University of New Hampshire, in Durham, this salad uses pears from a local orchard, cheese from a local producer and mesclun greens from the UNH Organic Gardening Club, says Ralph Coughenour, director of culinary services.
