Author Notes: Asian pears are one of my favorite fruits. I love the nutty, fresh taste and crisp texture. The crispness of the Asian pears is a nice counterpoint to the soft and smooth texture of the mangoes. - Bevi

Serves 4

1 Asian pear
1 Ripe mango
1/2 Red pepper
1/2 cup Good olive oil
2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon country mustard (or your own concoction)
1 tablespoon Grade B maple syrup
Salt and Pepper to taste

Make a vinaigrette of the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, country mustard, and salt and pepper. Stir well to emulsify.
Rough chop the fruits and place in a bowl.
Pour in one generous tablespoon of the vinaigrette and blend into the fruits. Use more vinaigrette if you want. Save the rest for a green or Waldorf Salad.
Serve cold.
