- Wash, Core and roughly chop the pears and apples into thick cubes and add it to the bowl.
- Now add the sliced olives and chopped capsicum (bell pepper). Refrigerate for atleast 30 minutes or until serving.
- In a separate bowl, add all the ingredients for the salad dressing (jaggery + salt + pepper + olive oil + lemon juice). Mix well and keep aside. Note - If you are serving this later, mix and refrigerate in a bottle.

Notes
- The best part about salads are you can always customize according to your taste and preferences. You can either add a mix of vegetables or lettuce greens available.
- Refrigerate your ingredients for atleast 30 minutes before adding the dressing and serving. Salads with fruits and cheese always taste best chilled.
