pear & potato salad

So here's a simple side dish I paired with the maple-glazed tuna recipe. It could easily go with a number of dishes. I was shocked at how well these ingredients go together (pears and potatoes? who knew!) And, along with the tuna steak, this took under 20 minutes from start to finish. Here's what you'll need:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 Yukon Gold potato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 Bosc pears, cut into 1/2-inch piecees
• 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Juice of 1 lemon

Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes and sauté until golden, about 12 minutes or so. Add the pears, onion, and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt, pepper and squeezed lemon. And done! Again, simple preparation, incredible taste.

Bon chappétit!
