Pear and blue cheese is a classic combination and if you try this recipe you’ll immediately see why. It tastes as delicious as it looks and it is really healthy, too. Pears are an excellent source of fibre and a good source of Vitamin C. They’re also cholesterol free, fat free, and sodium free. It’s a great way of using up any blue cheese left over from Christmas.

Top Tip for making Pear and blue cheese salad

The walnut oil give this dish a lovely nutty flavour but if you don’t have any then simply add a little more olive oil instead. If you prefer a tarter dressing use more lime juice.
