Harshita's Cooking: Pomegranate and Pear Salad

Pomegranate and Pear Salad

This is a healthy fruit salad- with no fat and very low calories- that too because of the little honey I've added in it and also because of the little calories the fruits naturally have! It was sweet and sour and had a tinge of tangy flavour as well. It was perfect as a fruit salad with the tangy dressing over it!

I was out to the kitchen, hunting for a snack in the evening! After, finding nothing, I was obliged to have fruits. But I never like fruit in their real form. So, I had to change their form into a delicious salad and hence I created this yummy salad. At first I was trying to make something to drink, but couldn't do so because of the lack of ingredients in the kitchen. Finally, I made this salad. You, could have this at almost any time of the and you can even carry it in your tiffin to your office if you're on diet. You can even pack this for kid's tiffin if you want them to have something healthy.

This is a full package of Iron, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Vitamin B-6 and Calcium.But, make sure you use lemon juice if you want to carry this in tiffin, otherwise the pear will turn black! I didn't have lemon so I added water in the dressing. Also, I consumed it immediately, so it was ok in my case.
