3 fresh pears
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup toasted pecans
1 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup light mayonnaise

In a saucepan, cook the yams for 8 to 10 minutes in boiling water
just until tender. Do not overcook. Drain; set aside to cool.
Core the pears and cut into chunks. Toss the pears with the lemon
juice and mix with the cooled yams in a large bowl. Add the pecans,
celery and raisins, mixing gently.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, honey, ginger and
salt. Pour the dressing over the yam-pear mixture, mixing gently to
coat the salad. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
