Easy, tasty and crunchy is this lovely fresh rocket salad.  We love the combination of the honey in the dressing which tones down the bitterness of the rocket.  While the pear and walnuts combine for a nice crunchy surprise.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups wild rocket – washed
  • 1 cup walnuts – chopped roughly
  • 1 pear – washed, sliced thinly
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
