Recipe: Asian Pear Salad

The friend who put me up to blogging, her husband, their roommate, and her sister and I are cooking together sometimes these days. The other night we threw together a yummy South Indian-inspired meal of lemon rice, sauteed red cabbage with peanuts, chillies, and coconut, and egg curry.

We started with this very simple salad:
  • 3 asian pears, julienned;
  • the juice of 1 lemon;
  • some wonderful heirloom cherry tomatoes;
  • a ripe mango, julienned;
  • literally just a *splash* of extra virgin olive oil, some black pepper, and a dash of ground coriander seed; and
  • some fresh cilantro.
