The fruit chosen for this weeks entry is Pear. I simply had no choice but to make a version of my favourite salad - caramelised pear with feta cheese and walnuts First a visit this morning to the local Organic Store in Limassol to find the perfect pears  Most of my ingredients are pictured below: Lettuce - I bought a new variety called "Laxana" - never heard of it before and the stalk is like a celery stalk (might try cooking it to see if it tastes like celery stalks when cooked- or at least have the same texture) Radish, baby spring onions, butter, walnuts and red wine. Not in the picture, I used some cucumber, vanilla sugar and feta cheese   Almost done - just need to add a little lemon juice and some feta cheese   This is me holding a box of vanilla sugar - which I used instead of sugar for caramelising my pears and walnuts  Pretty simple and delicious salad - can't get enough of it. I added the vanilla sugar to butter and baked pears until golden, added the walnuts. After they were glazed, I took the walnuts out and added some red wine which I allowed to thicken with the pears and give them a lovely rose colour. These were added to the salad - and can pretty much be added to any salad. The finished platter Hope you enjoy .jpg)
