Method

  • step 1

    Toast the bread while you make the dressing: mash 15g blue cheese with the oil, vinegar, mustard powder, garlic and 1 tbsp water.

  • step 2

    Pile the salad leaves onto two plates. Spread the remaining cheese over the toast (it doesn’t matter if it goes cold), top with the pear and scatter with the walnut pieces. Drizzle the dressing over the salad leaves and serve.

RECIPE TIPS
PACKED LUNCH

If making a packed lunch, spread the toast with the cheese and take the salad, pear and nuts with a separate pot of dressing. Slice the pear just before eating to preserve the nutrients and prevent it going brown.

Hi! are we spotted to use 50g of cheese or 15?

Delicious. I used dolcelatte as I had some in, and it is my favourite blue cheese anyway. I ate it with a couple of slices of homemade soda bread.

Absolutely delicious! Would also make a great starter! I had blue cheese though my partner had feta as he doesn't like blue. He loved it too.
