Ingredients
  

  • 1 fresh pear
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tsp. raw honey substitue agave nectar or maple syrup for vegan
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 tbsp. avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. julienned fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • First make the dressing by mixing the lime, garlic, honey, salt, oil, and basil in a small mixing bowl.
  • Working quickly so the avocado and pear don't oxidize and turn brown,  core and cut both the pear and the avocado into desired size cubes.
  • Immediately add the pear and avocado to the dressing and gently mix well, without smashing the avocado too much.
  • Taste for little flavor nuances like salt or honey, and serve immediately.
  • Sprinkle more fresh julienned basil on top if you want.
  • If you eat cheese, some goat or feta, or aged nut cheese would probably go great in this salad.
