Crunchy Pear Walnut Salad with a Mustard Orange Dressing

Crush the walnuts: the easiest way is to put them in a large bowl and use something solid like a sturdy glass or the end of a rolling pin.

Dice the pear and dried fruit into small cubes. Think roughly the size of a quartered date. If you’re using raisins, you can probably leave those as they are. Add them and the washed rocket and/or lamb’s lettuce to the bowl, too. Make sure you wash the salad first, rocket often comes with a load of grit!

Mix the orange juice, balsamic cream, mustard and olive oil together. Chuck in a dash or two of salt and pepper. Stir into the salad. Serve. Done!
