INGREDIENTS

3 whole corella pears
1 small tin baby beetroots
1 tablespoon Olive oil ; (to drizzle on pears)
1/4 cup Olive oil ; (to cook walnuts in)
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Honey
80 grams baby rocket
150 grams haloumi cheese ; (or blue cheese)

Servings

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut pears into quarters and place on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper as desired. Bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden in colour.

Warm 1/4 cup of oil plus 80 grams of walnuts in a saucepan on low heat. Add balsamic vinegar and honey to walnut mixture stiring after each ingredient. Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes or until sauce begins to caramalize a little. Walnuts should also have browned a little too. Set aside to cool slightly because if its too hot when added ontop of the rocket it will whilt the rocket.

To cook the haloumi cheese, slice thinly (approximately 3mm thick slices) and either bake in oven or in a lightly oiled flypan to avoid them sticking. They will only take a little while to cook and brown, turn and cook evenly on both sides.

Arrange rocket, pear quarters, beetroot and cheese in a serving platter / bowl. Drizzle the sauce and walnuts evenly around the salad. Serve immediately.
