• Add the extra virgin olive oil to the jar with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.
• Put the lid securely on the jar and shake well.
• Have a taste and see whether you think it needs a bit more lemon juice or oil - you want it to be slightly too acidic, so that it's still nice and zingy once you've dressed your salad.
• Remove the pear stalk and finely slice the pear into rounds (core and all), then use good knife skills to carefully cut the slices across into matchsticks.
• Scatter the pear over the watercress, then squeeze over the remaining lemon juice to stop the pear turning brown.
