QUICK PEAR SALAD
Method
- Peel and core the pears, then smear with a little lemon juice to prevent them turning brown.
- Put the vinegar and a good pinch of salt in a screw-top jar and shake until the salt has dissolved.
- Add the mustard and walnut oil, then shake again to emulsify.
To assemble the salad:
- Slice the pears lengthwise into thin segments and place them rustically on four serving plates along with the rocket or kale, then scatter over the walnuts.
- Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Crumble the cheese over the salad. Toss gently to combine. Serve.
