About Summer Walnut Pear Salad

There’s nothing better than a simple and delicious salad, and this is one of my very favorites. The walnuts and pears in this salad add digestion-healthy fiber, and healthful nutrients including cancer-protective quercetin in the pear skin and heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory plant-based omega 3 fatty acids. So it’s not only delicious, takes five minute to make, and contains five ingredients, but it’s full of nutrients! Enjoy this salad alone or add your preferred lean protein for a larger meal.

Walnuts

Fresh walnuts have a sweeter, richer flavour. They’re great tossed on a salad with pear slices. Mix with oats for a topping on pear crisp, or toast them lightly in a frying pan and eat with pear slices and a chuck of your favourite cheese. Of course nuts are packed with nutrients (and calories, so do keep an eye on serving size).  Also, see 10 Tasty Ways to Cook with Nuts..

Pears

Pears are full of fiber, a crucial nutrient for your skin. “Fiber slows the release of sugar into your blood, a good thing because repeated sugar spikes can damage collagen, a protein that keeps your complexion plump and smooth,” Alan C. Logan, ND, says. “Pears also have vitamin C, which fights free radicals.

Bon Appetite!
