I
am loving salads these days. The Pear and Lettuce Salad is just the one I
needed this afternoon to beat the heat and get in some portion of healthy food.
It is even better with the walnuts.
I
had this salad at a restaurant called Herbs and Spices in Indiranagar, Bangalore.
It was such a nice joint for good barbecue and good music, we were a regular there. I knew it I had to recreate their Pear and Lettuce Salad at home. But I
made my additions and now mine is a Pear and Lettuce
Salad with Toasted Walnuts.
This
is such a no fuss salad that I am in love with the simplicity of it!
