If you find fresh pears in the marketplace, buy them and attempt this fresh pear salad. A warm dressing of pomegranate juice, lemon, mustard paste, honey and fresh pepper introduce a brilliant taste to the cut pear cubes. Toss in crisp iceberg lettuce too, it adds a definite crunch to the salad. Serve this one immediately and enjoy the fresh taste of pears and the sweet-spice flavours of the dressing. Very appetizing!
