Instruction manual
1
We spread the cheese on a chopping board and cut into strips about 2 to 3 centimeters in size and no more than 5 millimeters thick. To simplify the process, you can use a grater with large holes. We put the chopped cheese in the prepared dishes (salad bowl or deep plate).
2
Apple and pear, previously washed under running water, peel. Cut the fruit and peel the seeds, removing the core. After, cut into strips and put in a clean plate.
3
Next we take a lemon and use a knife to cut it into two halves. We need about 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, so squeeze any of the halves directly onto the fruit. All this is necessary so that the fruits do not darken and there is a pleasant background aroma.
4
We wash the almonds under running water and clean them of dirt. We put the nuts in a deep bowl and pour them with boiling water so that the peel would peel off. After 5 minutes, carefully drain the water and after they have cooled, we clear them of the peel. Then fry in a frying pan over medium heat until golden brown, with a spatula in a timely manner turning them over so as not to burn. After frying, grind with a mortar or knife until medium grinding or in a blender.

Next, you need to prepare a dressing of yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and sugar. Place all ingredients on a plate and stir until smooth. Give the sauce a little brew.

It is advisable to leave in a cool place for 10-20 minutes, so that the ingredients are saturated. But this is not necessary, the salad can be served immediately after cooking.
