Preparation – 5 minutes

Peel the pears using a vegetable peeler. Cut the pears into wedges and remove the cores.

Wash the little gem lettuce and squeeze the juice from half a lemon.

Add honey, white wine vinegar, lemon juice and mustard to a small bowl. Whisk while slowly pouring in the olive oil, to create a dressing.

Taste, and season the dressing with salt and pepper.

Finishing the pear and gorgonzola salad – 5 minutes

Roughly tear the little gem lettuce into pieces and arrange on a plate. Crumble the walnuts and sprinkle over the salad, along with the gorgonzola.

Heat a few tablespoons of sunflower oil in the large frying pan. Sauté the pears for a few minutes, then add to the salad. Pour the dressing over the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy your meal!
