Instructions
- First make the dressing by mixing the lime, garlic, honey, salt, oil, and basil in a small mixing bowl.
- Working quickly so the avocado and pear don't oxidize and turn brown, core and cut both the pear and the avocado into desired size cubes.
- Immediately add the pear and avocado to the dressing and gently mix well, without smashing the avocado too much.
- Taste for little flavor nuances like salt or honey, and serve immediately.
- Sprinkle more fresh julienned basil on top if you want.
- If you eat cheese, some goat or feta, or aged nut cheese would probably go great in this salad.
