Crunchy Pear & Celery Salad

This salad is super refreshing in the Winter when you might not be drinking enough water.  I don't know about you, but I can't seem to get enough water in my body.  This salad is so nourishing and delicious.  I tweaked the original recipe by omitting the cheese.  So, if you want to be decadent you could add grated cheese of your choosing!  Pears are loaded with antioxidants and are anti-inflammatory.  Pears may reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes.  The skin of the pear is loaded with nutrients, so don't skip it!  Be sure to include the skin in the recipe.  

2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
4 celery stalks, chopped
2 pears, diced
1/2 Cup chopped pecans

Place honey, vinegar and salt in a bowl and mix together.  Add remaining ingredients and toss. Enjoy on it's own or you can serve on a bed of lettuce.  Yum!  Yum!
