Step 1:

The dressing. First, let's make the dressing so the salt and sugar have time to dissolve while you prep the rest of the ingredients. For the dressing, you'll need: olive oil, white wine vinegar (you can use apple cider vinegar instead), garlic powder, sugar, ground black pepper, and salt.
Step 2:

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, wine vinegar, garlic powder, sugar, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix everything well and set it aside until the salt and sugar dissolve.
Step 3:

Prepare the ingredients. To make this salad with avocado, pear, and cheese, you'll need: bell pepper, a ripe sweet pear (Conference is best), avocado, cheese, lettuce leaves, herbs (I use dill and cilantro), and a little lemon juice for the avocado and pear.
Step 4:

Wash and dry the bell pepper, remove the seeds and stem, and cut it into small sticks. Cut the cheese into medium cubes. Wash and dry the pear, remove the core, and cut it into medium cubes. Cut the avocado lengthwise into two halves and remove the pit. Then peel off the skin. Cut the flesh into cubes as well. Sprinkle the avocado with lemon juice.
Step 5:

Wash, dry, and finely chop the herbs.
Step 6:

Put the bell pepper, avocado, pear, cheese, and chopped herbs in a salad bowl.
Step 7:

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss.
Step 8:

Wash and dry the lettuce leaves, tear them into small pieces, and arrange them on a serving dish.
Step 9:

Spread the fruit-and-vegetable mixture on top. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

I recently discovered garlic powder, and now I use it in all sorts of dishes. It's not as sharp as fresh garlic. It doesn't leave the same lingering smell and aftertaste. And when you fry or bake it, it doesn't burn the way fresh garlic does. So it's much more convenient to use. True, it's a bit less beneficial, but for this salad it's better to use garlic powder, since fresh garlic (especially young garlic) would overpower the taste of the fruit and vegetables.
