Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- 6 tbsp walnut oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp whole grain honey mustard
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup tarragon sprigs roughly chopped
- 2 pears, ripe
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces lightly toasted
- 4 cup mixed leaf salad e.g. watercress, arugula, spinach
- salt
- pepper
Recipe Method
1. Oil a foil-lined cooked sheet and scatter the Parmesan cheese over it, spreading it to a thin layer about 10 inches square. Cook under a preheated broiler for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese has melted and is pale golden. Leave until cool enough to handle, then peel the foil away, letting the cheese break into pieces to form "croutes."
2. Whisk together the oil, lemon juice, mustard, sugar, tarragon and salt and pepper. Halve and core the pears and cut into thin slices.
3. Toss the walnuts and pears with the mixed leaf salad and dressing. Pile onto serving plates and scatter with the Parmesan croutes.
