Instructions

  1. Dry-toast the walnuts in a pan over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until they smell fragrant. Let them cool.
  2. Make the dressing by whisking the oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. In a salad bowl, mix the rocket, pears, onion and half of the walnuts. Pour over the dressing and toss gently.
  5. Crumble the cheese on top, sprinkle with the remaining walnuts and add pomegranate seeds if you have some. Serve straight away.

Variations and tips

Summer version. Add peach or apricot slices in place of some of the pears.
