Healthy and heavenly Korean pear salad

5/31/2020

0 Comments

 
I toyed with the idea to make something with a 'new fruit in town', a Korean pear, for quite a long time, but somehow I couldn't find inspiration until Shavuot Holiday 2020.
We love Shavuot Holiday because on this day one MUST eat cheese. It's the least religious of all Jewish holidays, and the most merry for us, cheese lovers.
So we went to buy cheese, and then I realized that Korean pear (a Korean pear salad, for sure) would go perfectly with these cheeses. Jeeez...
​So I've made it, and you know what? It was perfect. Simply perfect. Hope, you'll enjoy it too!

For the salad:

4 Korean pears
1 medium carrot
1 head iceberg lettuce
3-4 stalks celery
1 cup fresh mint (chopped)

For the dressing:

juice and zest of 1 lemon
3 garlic cloves
1.5 inch piece of ginger
3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp honey
0.5 cup chopped walnuts
0.5 tsp sweet paprika
salt, pepper

Preparation:
Peel and de-core the Korean pears, cut into sticks approximately 1 x 0.2 inch size, grate the carrot, cut the lettuce into thin strips, cut celery stalks into small slices, add chopped mint leaves and mix well.
Prepare the dressing:
In a bowl mix lemon juice with grated zest and minced garlic. Peel and grate the ginger, add to the bowl. Add chopped walnuts, honey, vegetable oil and spices, mix well.

​Pour the dressing on the salad, mix thoroughly and serve!

This salad can be made more savory by adding boiled (and chilled) shrimps, or tofu cubes, or pan fried to crispy (and chilled) pieces of chicken breast meat.

It’s truly delicious and very refreshing, perfect salad for hot summer days. You must try it at home!
