Spicy Green Salad with Manchego and Pears

Ingredients for Spicy Green Salad with Manchego and Pears

• 45g green (hulled) pumpkin seeds (pepitas

• not toasted)

• 80ml plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided

• 45ml Sherry vinegar

• 1 teaspoon mild honey

• 1 teaspoon grainy mustard

• 4 cups packed spicy salad greens, such as radish greens, watercress, and/or rocket, tough stems discarded

• 600g packed frisée (French curly endive), torn into bite-size pieces

• 1 (1/2-pound) piece Manchego cheese, rind removed and cheese shaved into 32 thin slices (preferably with a cheese plane)

• 8 small red or yellow Bartlett pears (preferably with stems)

Cook seeds in 1 tablespoon oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until puffed and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels and reserve oil. Season seeds with salt and pepper.

Whisk together vinegar, honey, mustard, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/8 teaspoons pepper. Add remaining 80ml olive oil and reserved oil from skillet in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.

Divide greens and cheese among salad plates. Cut off 2 opposite sides of each pear (reserve for another use), leaving a 1/2-inch-thick lengthwise centre slice with stem and core. Arrange a pear slice on each plate and drizzle dressing over salads. Sprinkle with seeds.
