Pear and Pomogranate Salad With Apple Cider Dressing | Quick Summer Meals

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.
