This salad is an absolute cracker! Loaded with flavour, light but substantial, and ohhhh so yummy! With pears in season- and on special- don't miss out! The slightly tangy umami of the dressing is PEAR-fectly balanced out by the crunch of the peanuts, the richness of the steak and the bright sweet flavour of the pears.
Kids and adults alike will clean their plates with this one!
