Pear and Rocket Salad

Method

To prepare the salad

  1. 1
    Place the rocket in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with flake salt. Grate about two-thirds of the Parmigiano over the top and toss to combine.
  2. 2
    Drizzle with half the balsamic and toss gently again. Arrange the dressed rocket on a serving plate, tucking the pear slices naturally among the leaves.
  3. 3
    Finish with the remaining Parmigiano shavings and a final drizzle of the balsamic. Serve immediately for optimal freshness and texture.
...And that's it, enjoy!

Slice the pear just before serving to prevent browning.

For extra crunch, add toasted walnuts or hazelnuts.

Use only high-quality aged balsamic for the best flavour balance.

Best eaten immediately; avoid storing once dressed to preserve the rocket’s texture.
