The crunchy texture of iceberg lettuce, along with the sweetness of the pear and the piquancy of the "drunk" cherry, are very interestingly combined with the delicate liver of the bird. A great dinner would be such a salad with dried baguette slices and a glass of dry red wine. An excellent substitute for chicken liver will be turkey, which is not inferior in usefulness to chicken. Cherries can be replaced with fresh raspberries. It does not need to be soaked in cognac, it is enough to warm it up for 1 minute with the liver at the end of cooking

Chicken liver and pear salad with pickled cherries - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of fruit instead of pears?

Yes, apples or figs would be delicious alternatives to pears in this salad. Choose a variety that is firm and slightly tart to complement the richness of the liver and cherries.

I don't have fresh cherries; can I substitute with something else?

If you don't have fresh cherries, use drained jarred cherries or dried cranberries/cherries. You can also use a cherry jam or preserve, but use it sparingly to avoid making the salad too sweet.

What's the best way to prevent the chicken liver from becoming tough?

The key to tender chicken liver is to not overcook it. Fry it quickly over medium-high heat for about 1 minute per side, just until it's seared on the outside but still slightly pink inside. Covering the pan and keeping it warm will help it retain moisture.

How long can I store leftover chicken liver salad?

This salad is best served immediately while the liver is still warm. However, if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. The liver may become less tender, and the salad might be slightly soggy.

Can I make this salad vegetarian?

Unfortunately, with the chicken liver being the primary ingredient it cannot be made vegetarian. However, you can create a similar fall and winter salad using grilled halloumi cheese. Also, consider grilling some sliced tofu, then caramelize it in balsamic vinegar.

What other fresh herbs can I use?

Chives, tarragon, or even a sprinkle of fresh thyme would be lovely additions to this chicken liver salad, adding a fresh, herbaceous note.

What's the best oil for frying the chicken livers?

Butter provides a rich flavor, but you could also use olive oil or avocado oil for frying. Choose an oil with a high smoke point if you prefer a higher cooking temperature.
