Preparation

Step 1

Heat large frying pan over med high heat. Add olive oil and allow to warm. Add pear slices and sauté in oil for 2 min on each side. Turn off heat and drizzle honey over pear slices; gently turn pears so that honey coats them on both sides.
While pears are cooking, put greens and vegetables into a large salad bowl and mix well. Add warm pears, cheese, nuts and gently mix.
Mix salad dressing ingredients, add juices from pan and pour over salad and serve immediately.

You can also add grilled chicken slices or prawns.
