Ingredients

Servings

for the salad:

  • 2 mixed salad greens I used lamb's lettuce, handfuls
  • 1 pear large, ripe
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries 30g
  • 1/3 cup walnuts 35g
  • 2 oz goat cheese semi-firm, 60g, 4 slices

for the lemon dijon vinaigrette:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash the lettuce and spin it dry. Put on a large plate.
  2. Peel the pear (you can also leave the skin on if you'd like), cut into 4 parts, cut out the core, then cut each part into thin slices. Arrange the pear slices on top of the salad greens.
  3. Toast the walnuts on a dry pan until they are browned and fragrant. Take off the pan immediately as they can burn quickly.
  4. Cut the cheese into small cubes.
  5. Arrange the cranberries, walnuts, and cheese on top of the salad.
  6. Make the dressing: add all the ingredients into a small jar, close the lid and shake until well combined. You can also whiz all ingredients in a food processor. Season with salt and pepper, adjust to your taste by adding more lemon juice, mustard, or honey.
  7. Drizzle the salad with the dressing and serve.
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to dry your lettuce well or the salad will be too watery after you add the dressing.
  • See blog post for many substitution suggestions.
  • Calories = 1 serving (1/2 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
