Instructions
- Dry-toast the walnuts in a pan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until they smell fragrant. Let them cool.
- Make the dressing by whisking the oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Wash the pears, remove the core and cut them into thin slices or small cubes. Finely slice the red onion and rinse it in cold water to mellow its taste.
- In a salad bowl, mix the rocket, pears, onion and half of the walnuts. Pour over the dressing and toss gently.
- Crumble the cheese on top, sprinkle with the remaining walnuts and add pomegranate seeds if you have some. Serve straight away.
