Rocket, pear and walnut salad




It's only natural that as purveyors of fresh produce we enjoy dishes loaded with greens. This summer salad is so easy it will make you wonder how it can taste this good. The secret is the freshest of fresh greens and a tangy yet sweet delicious dressing. Fresh, ripe, thinly sliced pear only adds to the crispness of this salad. Paired with a BBQ feast or eaten on its own, it won’t disappoint.

Ingredients:
1 pear, finely sliced
1 bunch of rocket
1 bunch of baby spinach
1 handful of chopped walnuts
Parmesan cheese

Dressing:
1 tbs honey (or 1 tbs mango chutney)
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ tbs wholegrain mustard
Splash of balsamic vinegar
2 tbs olive oil
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper

Roast walnuts in hot pan for a few minutes until aromatic. Combine dressing ingredients together, mix well and set aside for 15 minutes; remove garlic. Toss roasted walnuts into a bowl with rocket and baby spinach. Add sliced pear, drizzle with dressing and top with freshly shaved parmesan.
Eat immediately!
