    this Healthy Pear Almond Salad is so fresh and has an oil free dressing free option! the pear and almonds give a sweet-ness and crunch, everything you need in a salad! 

    Healthy Pear Almond Salad

    this is SO un-related to this Healthy Pear Almond Salad but do any of you have dogs that WILL NOT go out in the rain?

    it's raining pretty steady here and it's already the afternoon and my pups won't go out to pee! they refuse! they stand there and look at me like? yo mom, you crazy if you think I'm goin out there! 😉

    seriously not to sound even more CRAZY but I even picked them up and went out there holding an umbrella over them!!! I know insane right? turns out, the umbrella FREAKED them out! they ran in so fast! 😉 LOL

    I guess they are just gonna hold their pee... (they havn't went out since last night!)

    Healthy Pear Almond Salad

    anyways on to this salad! I LOVE salads in the summer! this Healthy Pear Almond Salad has an option for two different dressing options one is lemon and one is and oil option... I personally prefer the lemon option because I am not a huge fan of dressing and the extra fat it adds to such clean and healthy salads (with the exception of some pretty awesome avocado ones I see people make, that's on my to-try list) but... with that being said I also know I'm kinda weird and most people would die without dressing! 😉 so that's why I included 2 options here!

    the pear in this salad adds a really nice sweet flavor especially if your pear is ripe! I believe the riper they are the more sweet-ness they have.  Anyone know if that's true or not? it really does taste like it so that's what i decided to believe 😉 The almonds give a really nice crunch and a source of good fat's to this salad! and the green onions/scallions (from our garden by the way! 😉 pictures will be coming soon! ) give a nice POP of un-expected flavor!

    this salad is definitely one of my favorites right now !

    I hope you try this salad and love it as much as I did!

      Haha! My little pups don't like the rain but they are troopers and will go outside to do their business. They just squat with their ears back and look at me wondering why I hate them. Poor babies. They get treats when they come inside and a towel rub, which they love. 🙂

      This salad looks so healthy and fresh. I don't like a heavy salad dressing either, so this is perfect for me.

      Our family dogs when I was growing up didn't like going out in the rain or snow either. We would sometimes have to carry them outside too 🙂
      I love adding fruits to salads! This looks delicious! The pears sound fantastic with the almonds in here!

      Gorgeous salad! And yes, as a pear ripens more of the starch converts to sugar- so it tastes more sweet! beautiful looking salad!
