    Treat yourself to this colored bowl of red pear, fennel, kiwano, and a fresh dressing. This makes for a perfect fall salad because pears are finally beginning to ripen. Pick up a pear that is freshly plucked and in season and slice it up for this salad.

    Mixed Greens Fennel And Red Pear Salad

    You may be wondering, "what's a horned melon, and where can I get one?" Horned melons are also known as kiwanos, African horned cucumbers, jelly melons, or hedged gourds. These fruits have little spikes on the yellow-orange outer skin, hence the name "horned melons."

    The inner flesh has a consistency similar to jelly and a tart taste. To eat, simply cut the fruit in half and squeeze until the seeds pop out. Horned melons can be expensive or hard to find in stores; if you can't locate a horned melon, use a pomegranate instead.

    Serve this with a protein, like chicken or fish. Or add sliced chicken on top of the salad for a quick lunch!
