Easy Pear salad with Feta Cheese and walnuts
So the saying goes : When life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade.
I improvised on that saying .....
So when life gives you pears, you should make a delicious Pear Salad.
When I recently visited the Bandra Bazar I noticed an abundance of pears being sold at every street vendor's stall. I got really excited to pick up a bagful of fresh soft juicy pears at a really good price. On returning home, I wished to make the best recipe with them hence I tried this Pear and Feta Cheese Salad. The secret ingredient that makes it extremely palatable and delicious is Mustard.
It was light refreshing and extremely delicious. The fresh pears, salad leaves when combined with soft Feta cheese made a great combination to relish.
