Salad with pear, brie cheese and cherry tomatoes

Brie can be replaced with any other type of cheese. I came up with this salad on the go. Lately I absolutely don't want anything baked or fried. Pulls on different cheese, fruit and vegetable salads with light non-mayonnaise dressings based on olive oil with honey, wine vinegar or lemon juice. That's why I've been experimenting with different combinations of products and dressings all month. Among all the cheeses with mold, I especially like brie and camembert, so I buy them quite often. And I always eat like this. But they make wonderful salads.
