Easy
This is one of my favorite salads to throw together when I want something that feels fancy but takes barely twenty minutes from start to finish. Fresh pears and figs are a match made in heaven, and I love how the sweetness of the fruit plays against the peppery bite of red onion and nutty Gruyere. The best part? Pears are packed with fiber, which keeps you satisfied and supports your digestion. It's the perfect side dish for entertaining or a light lunch, and since there's no cooking involved, it couldn't be easier on a busy weeknight.
