Method

  1. Dry fry the pancetta until crisp, blot on kitchen paper and crumble into pieces. Put the baby leaves in a large serving bowl and scatter with the Roquefort, pear slices and pancetta. In a lidded container, shake together the walnut oil and sherry vinegar. Pour over the salad and serve with some crusty bread to mop up the dressing.

    Simple and scrumptious! All the flavours work really well together and the walnut oil in the dressing adds a wonderful nutty warm touch.

    Really delicious combination - I used the creamier St Agur and added a little garlic to fried pancetta and extra virgin olive oil instead of walnut oil.

    The pears and cheese go amazingly well together. I also added some chicken to make it more substantial.
