Juicy, sweet pears are something to love about autumn. Pear and rocket salad is another! Quick and easy and you’ll get rave reviews!
Quantities are variable depending on how large a salad you are wanting to make.
Start with rocket on a plate.
Pour a dressing of 2 parts mandarin or orange juice to 1 part extra virgin olive oil over the rocket.
Wash and slice pears and place on top of rocket.
Pour a little pure maple syrup in a pan. Sprinkle a handful of pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and chopped raw almonds/walnuts into the pan.
Heat gently, stirring until it caramelises.
Cool and sprinkle over salad.
Note: to make clean up easier, put pan in water as soon as you removed the caramelised nuts and seeds.
