SALAD LOVE V2.0

Fact = I spent 3 hours in the hairdresser after work today. 3 very long hours.  Fact = I thought it necessary to continually update fellow household inhabitant whilst (im)patiently sitting through my hair dying process with texts such as "what dinner did you get?", "start dinner without me, I'm still here" and a "SO HUNGRY" phone call as I desperately ran out of the salon door homeward bound, stomach grumbling in the process.

How fortunate was I then, upon arriving at home, that not only was there a glass of Italian red waiting for me but also a delectable pear and walnut salad already plated up and a seasoned scotch fillet steak sitting eagerly next to the red-hot cast iron frypan.

Bless.

pear, walnut and blue cheese salad
  1 ripe pear, sliced thinly
  1 handful walnuts, chopped
  150g baby rocket
  125g blue cheese, crumbled
dressing 
  2tsp wholegrain mustard
  4tbsp olive oil
  1tsp honey
  juice of ½ lemon
  salt and pepper, to taste

Place dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk well until combined.  Stir sliced pear through dressing.
Place rocket, walnuts, pears and dressing in a large bowl.  Lightly toss to combine. Serve and enjoy the absolute simplicity and decadence of the dish as much as we did.
