I couldn’t believe how easy this salad was to make. Apart from pan frying the pear, all you have to do is mix and dress the salad. The combination of flavors work so well together and it looks good too. This is seriously good enough to serve at a dinner party – really!
If you are dishing this up to the family, I recommend using the Parmesan cheese however if you are serving it to visitors, fancy it up by substituting the Parmesan cheese with some crumbled blue cheese.

Cooking Tips
