Last Sunday my husband bought so much of fruits from market including lots of pears. And I am absolutely clueless what can I do with all these fruits. So I decided to make some salad with pears. This pears salad had an amazing taste. Not like a typical salad. It was little tangy on the other hand little sweet. And when I was putting lemon juice, got an idea and put little bit of lemon zest also and I think these ingredients make this salad more tasty.

Ingredients:

Pears - 1 small 
Cucumber - 4 inches
Tomato - 1/2 medium
Lettuce - 4 leaves
Black olive slices - 1tbsp
Roasted almond - 8-10

Ingredients for dressing:

Olive oil -1tbsp
Salad seasoning mix - 1tsp
Lemon juice - 1tsp
Lemon zest - 1tsp
Honey -1tsp
Salt 

Tangy fruit salad with pears
Pears Almond Salad

Recipe:

Take a mixing bowl and put all ingredients for dressing. 
Mix all of them together and keep aside.
Your salad dressing is ready.
Now cut cucumber and pears into slices.
Cut tomato into julienne cut, if you have cherry tomato use that. It will look better. I didn't have at that time, so I couldn't use.
Cut the lettuce roughly.
Now take a serving plate and make a bed with lettuce.
Then put cucumber - pears - tomato - olive slices.
Sprinkle the dressing on top of the vegetables.
Lastly add roasted almond.
If you want to make this salad you can make it early but don't put almond. Add almonds just before serving, otherwise the almonds will loose their crunchiness.

This is a very yummy snacks recipe. First time I made for my daughter’s evening snacks and she liked it. Then I decided to make for one potluck party and there it was finished just like a hot cake. Not only kids’, elders also liked it. Then I decided to share in my blog. Most importantly it is very healthy and low calorie snacks because it is baked and made with lot of vegetables.
Actually “canapĂ©” is a small piece of bread with some savory toppings, served with drinks at party. This is generally a cracker topped and a type of finger food.

yummy snacks recipe with bread and mixed vegetables
Mixed Vegetables Bread Canapes

Recipe:

1.      Take a bowl and put butter, 1tbsp tomato ketch up and grated cheese 1 tbsp and mix together. This is the spread.
2.      Take another mixing bowl and put all chopped vegetables, parsley, chilli flakes, pepper powder, salt, oregano and mix well. This is the filling of canapĂ©s.
3.      Now cut the bread slices in round shape with the help of a sharp edge glass or bowl or cookie cutter if you have.
4.      Now take half of the slices and cut the middle of the piece in round shape with the help of a smaller cookie cutter or sharp edged bowl. This will look like donut or a disc with a whole.  
5.      So you will get six pairs from 12 bread slices. Each pair will have once round shaped slice and one donut or disc shaped slice.
6.      Take one bread slice and spread the ketchup – butter spread prepared earlier.
7.      Now keep one disc slice on the bread and put some filling in the middle of the disc. Just lightly press once with your palm from top otherwise there will be a chance to detach both slices.
8.      Make more 5 canapes like this way.
9.      On the top of the canapes put some grated cheese and place an olive slice.
10.  Now brush some oil on the edges of the bread.
11.  Bake them into 200c preheated oven for 8/10 minutes or till the breads turn golden.
12.  Serve hot.
