Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a salad with pear and dor blue cheese? Prepare your food. As a base for the salad, take any fresh lettuce, I used a mixture of lettuce and arugula. Choose a large, juicy and ripe pear. In this salad, dor blue cheese with green mold can be replaced with both sharper types - Roquefort, Gorgonzola, and softer ones, for example, white mold cheeses - brie, camembert.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the cheese into small slices.

3. STEP 3

   

   In a preheated dry frying pan, heat the walnuts for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour honey into the pan and fry the nuts over medium heat, stirring constantly until they are caramelized. Choose high-quality, natural honey. If it is thick or candied, then first melt it in a water bath.

5. STEP 5

   

   Remove the stem and core from the pear. Cut the pulp into thin slices. Pour the juice of half a lemon over the pear to prevent it from darkening.

6. STEP 6

   

   Prepare the dressing. Prepare food for her. Any vegetable oil will do, I used olive oil. Instead of grainy mustard, you can use ready-made Dijon mustard. Vinegar is replaced with lemon juice.

7. STEP 7

   

   How to make a dressing? Combine olive oil, wine vinegar, mustard and salt. Whisk all ingredients until smooth.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the arugula and lettuce leaves and dry well. Place lettuce leaves, pear slices, and blue cheese in a salad bowl.

   Top with caramelized walnuts. Pour the dressing over the salad, mix gently and serve. Bon appetit!
