Ingredients
Salad Mix
- 1 bunch fresh rocket leaves
- 50 g parmesan cheese shaved (use a vegetable peeler)
- 40 g walnuts, raw chopped into pieces
- 1 pear ripe
Dressing
- 1 tbsp low GI honey
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Method
Dressing
- In a small bowl, combine warmed honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil and white wine vinegar. Stir through until well combined. Taste and alter if needed i.e., a little more Dijon if you like a ‘bite’ or honey if you like it sweet! (You may need to make more dressing but this is the general ratio)
Salad
- To toast walnuts: spread walnuts out on a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds. Careful as the plate will be hot! Alternatively, toast walnuts in a dry pan but be careful not to burn as the walnuts cook quickly.
- Place the rocket in a large bowl. Scatter over parmesan,walnuts and pear. When ready to serve the salad, add the dressing and tosswell. Serve immediately.
