Alligator Pears and Apples

I'm definitely enjoying the arrival of spring so I've been pulling out some of our favorite salad and side dish recipes that are more geared to warmer weather. My kids especially like this one. My original recipe calls for sunflower seeds, but I've thrown in almonds, walnuts, peanuts, or nothing else at all.

2 avacado, peeled, pitted, and diced
1 large red apple, cored and diced
1/2 c. raisins
2 T. honey
1 T. hulled sunflower seeds (optional)

In a medium bowl, combine the avacados, apple, and raisins. Drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds.
