Pear, Blue Cheese and Walnut Salad<\/h3>\n

Ingredients<\/h4>\n

Caramelised Pears<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Make a batch (1kg) of caramelised pears and store them in the fridge in a large glass jar for another day\u2019s meal as you won\u2019t need the whole batch for one salad.<\/p>\n

1kg Pears, cleaned and cores removed
\n400g Castor sugar
\n400ml Boiling water
\n1 sprig Rosemary<\/p>\n

Salad<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

50g Mixed salad leaves
\n70g Caramelised pears
\n30g Walnuts
\n60g Tomatoes
\n50g Cucumbers
\n20g Red onions
\n40g Blue cheese
\n10g Roasted seeds
\nSalad dressing of your choice<\/p>\n

Method<\/h4>\n

For the caramelised pears:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Place sugar in a big steel pan and heat up over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and caramelised. Add boiling water and stir to make caramel syrup. Add pears and rosemary. Cook until soft and brown in colour. Cool slightly and add to the salad mix. Store the remaining pears in syrup in a large glass jar and refrigerate for next time.<\/p>\n

For the salad:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dress the leaves in salad dressing of your choice (we recommend a light vinaigrette). Build the salad by placing the ingredients randomly through the baby leaves, finishing with blue cheese, pears and walnuts on top.<\/p>\n
