The art of salad-making lies in the arrangement of colors and shapes. A carefully tossed salad can transform the simplest meals! Recently, Becky Hart, a sports & exercises science expert, certified personal trainer and corrective exercise specialist at The Hundred Pilates Studio created this innovative & wholesome salad for a group of friends who were surprised at the delicious use of pears.
Becky also loves spinach which provides a cooling effect, helps rid toxins out of the system and is rich in iron and Vitamin B. Great for perking up the sluggish system! We hope you enjoy re-creating this recipe at home – drop us your feedback in the comments box below!
