PEAR AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD
This pear and goat cheese salad is so warm and inviting. It has toasted candied walnuts and a balsamic vinaigrette to top it off. I love putting it over a bed of arugula or artisan lettuce!

Steps:
- Make homemade balsamic dressing by adding all the ingredients to a mason jar. Shake well to incorporate. If you have an immersion blender, blend ingredients together until creamy.
- To make the candied walnuts, combine all ingredients together in a small bowl. Stir until each walnut is coated. Place nut mixture on medium-low heat in a saute pan. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently being careful not to burn. Remove from heat after 2 minutes and place aside to cool.
- Layer lettuce, sliced pears and crumbled goat cheese on a serving platter or in a large bowl. Top with cooled candied walnuts and dressing with balsamic dressing prior to serving.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and put the pecans on a non-stick baking sheet. Sprinkle over the sugar and maple syrup, and toss to combine. Roast for 5-7 mins until golden, then leave to cool completely before roughly chopping.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining the ingredients and seasoning well. In a large bowl, combine the pear with the rocket, and toss with a little of the dressing.
- Just before serving, blowtorch or grill the goat's cheese rounds until golden. To serve, put the remaining dressing in a squeezy bottle and swirl around the edge of the plate. Put the pear and rocket salad in the middle, scatter over the nuts and top with the goat's cheese.
