What do you do when your awesome neighbours give you a giant bag of fresh pears from their pear tree? Make pear crumble! I mean, a healthy salad. (OK, full disclosure, I made the pear crumble first, then decided I should make a salad – it’s all about balance folks)

Blue cheese and a tangy dressing goes perfectly with the sweet pears.  I added avocado and walnuts for extra healthy fats because everyone knows #fatsarewhereitsat.

This salad can be whipped up in minutes with simple fresh ingredients.  If you’re a meat eater, it would be amazing with grilled chicken on top.
