Pear is a common fruit found
throughout the year. While there are the indian and imported varieties, I am
personally fond of this low sugar fruit – the burst of mild sweetness combined
with the juicy flavor makes it a on-the-go snack too, especially after a
workout. This salad today with fruits
came about after my elder kid came back from school after a long sports practice at school,
and wanted to have a quick snack, but no cooked stuff.
I pretty much added all that I had
in my refrigerator, and it was a great salad to tuck into. So here goes - Pear and Pomogranate Salad With Apple Cider Dressing...
Addition / deletion of any of the other stuff here is totally optional – see what works for your family :) The next time on I am sure to add some more nuts to give it an added crunch and texture.
