CREAMY PEAR CARROT SALAD W/ AVOCADO

This salad made me wish it was summer again with all this snow around! With the light pastel colour of all the veggies covered in a creamy sauce , and its tropical touch of avocado I felt as though I was living in summer while eating it , aka delish !




INGREDIENTS: serves 2

2 pears
2 large carrots
1/2 a cucumber
6 radishes
1/2 cup of cranberries
1/4 cup slivered almonds

SAUCE:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1:4 cup cream cheese
1/2 TBS lemon juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Few dashes of celery seed, cayenne pepper and dill weed
Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

- Chop up all veggies and pear with a French knife or pair in a food processor ( I like the texture of this salad like a Waldorf salad , creamy and chunky :)
-Mix salad dressing in a blender or magic bullet
- Toss salad in dressing
- You can serve with avocado on top or it try adding some meat like pork or chicken to mix in !
