I sometimes use melon instead of the pear in this salad, use what you like most or is in your fridge. Another thing I like to do is add crispy fried bacon bits just before serving.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces baby spinach leaves
  • 2 ounces walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1-2 ripe juicy pears, peeled and cubed

For the dressing

  • 3 ounces Roquefort cheese, add more or less to suit your own taste
  • 5 fluid ounces single cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Wash and dry the spinach, remove tough stalks and tear large leaves in pieces.
  2. 2
    Mash the cheese with a fork, gradually add the cream to form a smooth paste.
  3. 3
    Mix in the chives and add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. 4
    Place the spinach in a salad bowl, add the walnuts, the pear and pour over the dressing.
  5. 5
    Toss and serve.

this was delicious! i just love the sweet and savory flavor of the sweet canteloups and the roquefort, which is my favorite blue cheese. i sprinkles some additional cheese over the dressing, added toasted walnuts, a few slices of crumbled bacon, very nice lunch, and it would be a great first course salad as well

    Very interesting simple salad. I used havarti instead of Roquefort cheese and used half and half instead of simple cream without any problems. Thanks PetsRus for posting.
