Pear and rocket salad with goats cheese and sour cream dressing
Thurs, 31st March
This is really a plate of food. There is no tossing and very little chopping - very little preparation at all, in fact - and you can easily scale up this recipe to serve 4, 6 or even 8. The sour cream and goats cheese combine beautifully with the sweetness of the pear and the spicy hit of the rocket, making a lovely light lunch with a grown-up flavour combination. The pistachios are optional but add a nice texture overall, creating a perfect spring dish.
