As the heat rises, we love to serve a beautiful and light salad. This recipe works well as a starter, side dish, or even as the main dish. Serve on our Mediterraneo Oval Serving Platter.

INGREDIENTS:

250g rocket / baby leave salad
1 pear, washed
50g walnut halves
80g gorgonzola
2 tbsp oak roast / dried tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

METHOD:

• Wash the rocket and dry well. Scatter over a large shallow platter.
• Quarter and core the pear and final slice it before arranging it on top of the rocket.
• Dice the blue cheese into 2cm cubes and scatter it on top of the pears.
• Top with the walnuts and the tomatoes.
• Season with a little salt, freshly ground black pepper, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a good quality balsamic vinegar.
• Serve alone or with bread, rather as a starter of a side dish.
