September warm pear, Rocquefort and walnut salad
Created by Saul, Wednesday, 30 September 2009
Seasonal ingredients combined into a tangy, sweet and warm salad that perfectly suits the transition from light summer foods into more lingering autumnal dishes. Serve with nice brown bread for simple lunch, or with some autumn lamb (the best sort) and a light red wine for a more substantial meal.
