“Lunch Box” Salad with Pear

Ingredients

For the Salad

  • 150 g bread
  • Provençal herbs
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 QTee® pear
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 large handful of lettuce (here: frisée lettuce)
  • 6 slices dried duck breast
  • 1 large handful of sheep cheese shavings (here: Ossau-Iraty)
  • 3 tbsp seed mix (pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds…)
  • Vinaigrette: 1 tsp liquid honey, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper.

Serves: One person

Preparation time: 40 minutes

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Make the croutons by cutting the bread into small cubes. Put them in a bowl and add 1 finely chopped garlic clove, the Provençal herbs and olive oil. Mix well and spread them out on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes in the oven until the croutons are golden brown. Let cool and set aside.
  2. Peel the QTee® pear, remove the core and cut into wedges. Then cut each wedge into 6 pieces. Sauté them for 5 minutes in a pan over high heat with the butter, until the pieces start to turn golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Use a vegetable peeler to shave thin slices from the sheep cheese.
  4. Assembling the lunch box. If your lunch box has multiple compartments, put the dry ingredients in the first compartment: the croutons, cheese shavings and seed mix. Put the remaining ingredients in the second compartment: the lettuce, pear pieces and slices of dried duck breast.
  5. Making the vinaigrette: Mix the honey with the vinegar. Add the olive oil, salt and pepper and mix until smooth. Put the dressing in a small, separate container that you can easily take with you.
  6. Before eating, pour the contents of the lunch box and the vinaigrette onto a plate, mix everything together and enjoy!
