Mixed Pear Salad

How often does it happen that you are approaching meal time, but want to have something light and fresh? The answer would be Mixed Pear Salad.

Pear is commonly available in grocery stores and is found year around. This fruit is high in fiber, vitamins and other essential micronutrients. It easily blends with other fruits, vegetables and herbs.
