Pear pomegranate avacado salad

Like it sounds, but with cheese.

Get:
  • 1 bosche pear
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 red onion
  • tamari almonds (or salted roasted almonds)
  • goat cheese (herbed if you like, mmm)
  • fresh pomegranate seeds
  • oil & balsamic vinegar (for dressing)
Do:
  • slice the red onion into thin rings, to garnish
  • cube pear and avocado
  • salt the avocado a bit if it's not sufficiently delicious. It does need to be basically ripe though.
  • plate mixture with a glop of goat cheese in the center
  • place almonds on top of the cheese
  • place pomegranate seeds with the almonds in the center
  • garnish with circlets of red onion
  • chill and serve

Results:
  • Makes two generous salads, or 4 small salads
  • The avocado was not nearly as weird as it sounds, tasted okay in the salad and went with the cheese
  • The dressing was fine, if unimaginative
