Oh dear. I may have to make this soon.

yes, everyone should make it. i mean this!

i want to point out two important aspects of this salad:

1.) dicing the fruit. i'm used to chunky, big fruit salads. this is more delicate and allows for more flavors to mingle.

2.) when i first read the recipe, i thought asian pear was another name for prickly pear. perhaps i'm the last to know, but they're not the same thing! the asian pear tastes more like a "regular" pear, but it's round and more firm. if you haven't tried a prickly pear, i recommend you eat one on its own. juicy and yummy!

i love asian pears, it just wish they werent so expensive.
mmmmmmmmmm
