Ingredients
- medium pear 1 piece
- mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts) 1 oz
Method
-
Wash the pear.
Rinse the pear under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat it dry gently with a clean towel.
Tip: Use a soft brush if you want to clean the skin thoroughly. -
Prepare the pear.
Place the pear on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the pear into slices or wedges as you prefer. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber and nutrients.
Tip: Cut around the core to avoid the seeds and tough center. -
Measure the mixed nuts.
Use a kitchen scale to measure exactly 1 ounce (28.4 grams) of mixed nuts, including almonds, cashews, and walnuts. If you don’t have a scale, use a standard measuring cup to estimate about 1/4 cup of nuts.
Tip: Choose unsalted nuts to keep the snack healthy. -
Serve.
Arrange the pear slices on a plate and serve alongside the mixed nuts. Enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Tip: You can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on the pear slices for extra flavor if desired.
Pro tips
- Choose ripe but firm pears to avoid mushiness and enjoy a crisp texture.
- Store nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to keep them fresh longer.
