This was good, although I changed a few things: I replaced the sugar with maple syrup, and added some cardamom and coriander to the dressing, as well as a bit of lemon zest. I also added some very thinly sliced celery to the fennel and pear. I didn't have dried cherries, so I substituted dried cranberries. It was addictive!
