WATERCRESS, ROCKET, SWEET PEAR, WALNUT AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• What a pukka combination, simple and classy. Don't try to make this when you feel like it, make it when you can buy perfect pears, otherwise it will taste naff. For 1 person I normally use around 1/2 a pear, 2 big handfuls of watercress and 2 big handfuls of rocket. If the pear skins are nice I just give them a wash, if not I remove them with a peeler. Then cut them in 1/2 and deseed. It doesn't really matter how you cut them up. Sometimes in big rough chunks, maybe sliced up or even grated. Then place into a bowl with the watercress and rocket. The pepperiness of the leaves works so well with the sweetness of the pear. Drizzle with good extra-virgin olive oil just to coat, a small squeeze of lemon juice (because the pear juice is slightly acidic but very tasty), and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss all this together and serve. Shave over Parmesan or pecornio, crumble your nuts over and tuck in. I love this salad with roasted meat or as a starter on its own.

CARAMELISED PEAR, CAMEMBERT AND ROCKET SALAD

• Heat butter and sugar in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add pears and sauté for 2-3 minutes until light golden.
• Arrange rocket, camembert, toasts and pears onto a serving platter. Drizzle with dressing and serve immediately.

ROCKET (ARUGULA), PEAR AND WALNUT SALAD

• Salad:.
• Lay the rocket leaves on a flat platter, then arrange the remaining ingredients over the top. Spoon the dressing over and serve.

ROCKET & SLICED PEAR SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED BALSAMIC VINEGAR

Steps:

• Sprinkle pear slices with a little lemon juice and arrange over rocket on a medium sized platter.
• Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with the caramelized balsamic vinegar.
• Serve immediately with ground black pepper.
• To caramelize balsamic vinegar, simply reduce a 500 ml bottle of Balsamic Vinegar down to about 150 ml (2/3 cup) over high heat for approx 15 minutes - it will keep for several weeks in the pantry or you can caramelize less to use for this salad only.
