Steps:
- Toast the walnuts in a pan with a small amount of oil over medium heat for 3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- To make the salad dressing, add the olive oil, vinegar, honey, dijon mustard, and oregano to a small mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients together until well combined. Add a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the lettuce, pear, cheese, walnuts and cranberries to a large salad bowl.
- Top the salad with half the salad dressing. Mix gently to coat the lettuce. If the salad requires more dressing, add a little extra at a time until the desired dressing ratio is reached. Serve immediately.

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.
WATERCRESS, PEAR AND GORGONZOLA SALAD
Mellow pears contrast the strong flavors of gorgonzola in this bright, lightly creamy salad. It's all finished with a sweet-tart dressing of onion, mustard and red wine vinegar. It makes a lovely first course, or simply treat it as two servings, rather than four, and serve it as a light lunch.

SWEET PEAR AND GORGONZOLA SALAD WITH ROCKET, WATERCRESS, WALNUTS, AND ORANGE FLOWER HONEY
This salad first appeared in Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (1986) cookbook and became an instant hit in my restaurants because the intense flavor of pears is concentrated by long and slow heating. Whenever a recipe calls for fruit to accompany meat, game or poultry (as in duck with pears), this is the best way I know to bring out the flavors of the fruit, giving a commercial product a new lease on life, as if it were ripe fruit fresh from a farm in Oregon or Long Island. The process is oven drying, slowly evaporating all that Colorado River irrigation water from the fruit without cooking it. Do the same thing with halved apples, peeled slice pineapple, quinces, plums, apricots (especially since they tend to be the most ruined by growers), peaches and figs. If you can find Zante or Champagne grapes, they are the perfect garnish for this dish, but Concords would not be bad either. I also like to make this salad with ripe white peach and rose peppercorns sprinkled over the peaches and cheese.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Slice the pears in half lengthwise. Rub each half with a pinch of salt. Put parchment paper on a tray just large enough to hold the pears, and spread the sugar on the paper. There should be a 1/8-inch layer. Put the pear halves cut side down on the sugar and bake for 1 hour. When the pears are cool enough to handle, remove the cores and slice them crosswise into 1/8-inch sections.
- Put the lemon juice in a salad bowl with salt and pepper and mix to dissolve the salt, then whisk in the oil. Arrange the slices of pear 1 pear per plate, in 1 layer in the center of the plate, leaving a 3-inch gap in the center for the watercress and the rocket. Scatter the cheese and then the walnuts over the pears, and then drizzle the honey on top of the walnuts and cheese.
- Put the watercress, rocket, and basil in the salad bowl and toss together. Then place the salad in the center of the pears.
- Garnish with the flowers.
