I am really missing the summer lately. Days have been tremendously cool around here. Oh, I'm wishing for the summer season to come soon!
I remember the salads I made with my sister while we were visiting my family this last year.We both love salads very much and the long sunny, hot days made the salads even more enjoyable. Some of them with more ingredients than others but all of them incredible flavorful and nourishing. This radish and pear salad is one of our favorites, and we have made it many times with my sister. The combination of radish and pear with the cumin vinaigrette is incredible refreshing ...particularly for hot summer days!
In celebration of the winter season, I share this salad full of summer memories to warm up the body and soul. Happy Week! {whatever the season}

Radish +Pear + Basil Salad with Cumin Vinaigrette -----------------------------------------------------------------
Simply cut radishes and pears into slices. Put in a serving dish and set aside. To make the cumin vinaigrette, combine one part vinegar plus tree parts oil. Add one or two tsp. of ground cumin {more or less -according to your taste}, then add salt to taste. Mix vigorously. Pour over the salad, garnish with fresh basil. Serve as a side, or just eat by itself as a quick lunch with some baguette or french stick bread!
