Prepare the Pear.
Wash the pear thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Dry it gently with a clean kitchen towel.
Tip: Use a soft brush if you want to clean the skin more thoroughly. -
Cut the Pear.
Place the pear on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the pear into slices or bite-sized pieces according to your preference. Remove the core and seeds carefully.
Tip: Cut the pear into even slices for a nicer presentation and easier eating. -
Measure the Nuts.
Take 1/4 cup (about 30 grams) of mixed nuts, including almonds and cashews. You can use pre-measured nuts or measure them using a kitchen scale or measuring cup.
Tip: If you prefer, lightly toast the nuts in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to enhance their flavor. -
Combine and Serve.
Place the sliced pear on a plate or bowl and sprinkle the mixed nuts over the top. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tip: Serve with a small dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey if you want extra sweetness.
Pro tips
