Pear and Walnut Salad

They say you don’t make friends with salad, but this Pear and Walnut Salad disagrees.

My favourite way to eat salad is to combine either bibb lettuce or spinach with a fresh fruit, a dried fruit, a nut, a crumbly cheese, and a light and delicate dressing. This method doesn’t just leave room for a ton of variety, but loads of creativity too. It also guarantees a flavour and texture profile that will blow everyone’s minds – even those who are known to typically curl their lip at a salad. I’m not just saying this – my younger cousin and his fiance came over for lunch yesterday afternoon and this was the starter. A proud carnivore, my cousin admitted that if every vegetable dish tasted like this one, he would contemplate vegetarianism. HIS WORDS GUYS, not mine. Just passing along the message.

In short, serving this salad the next time you have guests over for lunch or dinner is probably a great idea.
