Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large, ripe but firm Comice or Bartlett pear
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons pecans 1 ounce, lightly toasted
1 bunch watercress, trimmed about 4 ounces
2 endives, broken into leaves
2 ounces Roquefort, Stilton or another blue cheese, crumbled
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon sherry or Champagne vinegar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, to taste
Salt
freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon walnut oil

Steps:

  • Peel, core and thinly slice the pear. Cut the slices in half so they're not too long. Toss with the lime juice.
  • Combine the pears, pecans, watercress, endive, blue cheese and tarragon in a large bowl. Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, olive oil and walnut oil. Toss with the salad, and serve.
