As a rule, warm salads are very savory dishes.
Here's an example of a salad with pears. Pear is an autumn fruit. Those pears that grow in summer are too juicy and sweet for salad.

Warm salads are a fashionable topic: they are prepared quickly, are nutritious, and do not affect the waistline. A light, tasty lunch is what a warm salad is, and weight-watchers will understand me.
Warm salads are an invention of Mediterranean cuisine. Perhaps the climate of this region is conducive to “light” culinary solutions, because you can have a warm salad for lunch. The combination of meat and fruit also comes from sunny countries - southern France, Italy, Spain. As for the presence of ginger and soy sauce in the salad recipe (not at all, however, optional), this is a direct consequence of the fact that everything is globalized, and cooking is no exception. When French cuisine meets Mexican cuisine and Far Eastern ingredients are part of an Italian recipe, it simply means we live in a global world.
Today is a bright culinary experiment: a salad of tender chicken liver and caramelized pears. You can add some chicken gizzards to the liver (I add them), they will make the structure of the salad appetizingly tough.
To give tender chicken liver even more tenderness with a hint of creamy taste, keep it in a bowl of milk for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse the liver well with cold water. If you decide to add ventricles, you don't need to do this to them.
Cut the offal into large pieces.
Pour some vegetable oil into the pan and flavor it - add a sprig of rosemary and a small piece of ginger and fry lightly.
Prepare flour for breading the liver, dip it in and place in a frying pan to fry. Add the ventricles (without flour) to the liver.
Fry the offal, turning it occasionally to prevent it from burning. It will take 5-7 minutes to cook, don’t keep it longer, you risk getting dry, tough meat.
Place the prepared pieces of liver and gizzards into a bowl.
Now for the side dish. Finely chop the onion, slice the pears (remove the core if desired).
Place pears and onions in the same pan.
Sprinkle the sugar over the pears, wait a few minutes to let the sugar begin to caramelize, and pour in a little water to catch any pan juices and soften the browned bits. After a few minutes you will have a sauce and will need to reduce it slightly to thicken it further. Add soy sauce and ground pepper to it.
Turn off the heat, add the prepared liver and gizzards to the pears, stir. You probably noticed that we did not salt the liver during the cooking process. To prevent it from being hard, it is better to do this after the dish is cooked. Considering that the recipe uses soy sauce, you will need less salt than usual.
Slice the grapes, remove the seeds, and add them to the salad.
Place the salad beautifully on a wide plate and sprinkle grapes on top.
Add colorful tomatoes and herbs. To give the dish a finished look, you can drizzle it with balsamic.
Serve the chicken liver salad warm.
