2 tbsp neutral oil

Handful of walnut pieces

1 just-ripe pears

Acacia honey

125g halloumi cheese, thinly sliced

Halve and core the pears and slice each half into 6-8 wedges.

Place in a mixing bowl and toss gently with the lemon juice.

Heat the remaining oil in a frypan over a high heat.

Fry the halloumi slices until they are golden on both sides.

Place watercress or spinach in a large mixing bowl.

Add the pears and their juices, the walnuts and their oil and the fried halloumi.

Season to taste with salt and pepper then toss gently.

Drizzle with acacia honey.

Transfer to a serving bowl or individual plates to serve.
