Mâche Parmesan Pear And Walnut Salad Recipes

PEAR SALAD WITH BALSAMIC AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Assemble the salad with the mixed greens and top with the pears and fennel. Squeeze a little lemon over the pears and fennel and toss.
• Top with the cranberries, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pecorino. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

PARMESAN AND CANDIED WALNUT SALAD

Steps:

• So first things first, you put all the components of your salad together. Combine the romaine lettuce, the candied walnuts, and the sliced pears n a serving bowl.
• Whisk the lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and the salt and pepper, to taste, in a small bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad.
• For the finishing touch, shave some fresh Parmesan over the top and serve.

WATERCRESS, ROCKET, SWEET PEAR, WALNUT AND PARMESAN SALAD

Steps:

• What a pukka combination, simple and classy. Don't try to make this when you feel like it, make it when you can buy perfect pears, otherwise it will taste naff. For 1 person I normally use around 1/2 a pear, 2 big handfuls of watercress and 2 big handfuls of rocket. If the pear skins are nice I just give them a wash, if not I remove them with a peeler. Then cut them in 1/2 and deseed. It doesn't really matter how you cut them up. Sometimes in big rough chunks, maybe sliced up or even grated. Then place into a bowl with the watercress and rocket. The pepperiness of the leaves works so well with the sweetness of the pear. Drizzle with good extra-virgin olive oil just to coat, a small squeeze of lemon juice (because the pear juice is slightly acidic but very tasty), and season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss all this together and serve. Shave over Parmesan or pecornio, crumble your nuts over and tuck in. I love this salad with roasted meat or as a starter on its own.

SALAD OF PEARS AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Peel and core the pears and slice them thin, lengthwise. Place the slices in a bowl and toss with two tablespoons of the vinegar.
• Mix the remaining vinegar with the oils and set aside.
• Place the arugula in a bowl, toss with three tablespoons of the dressing and divide the arugula among six salad plates. Spread the pear slices over the arugula and scatter the cheese, then the walnuts, over the top. Drizzle with the remaining dressing, season with pepper and serve.
