    Dolcelatte and Sweet Pear Salad

    Dolcelatte which means 'sweet milk', is a mild and creamy blue veined cheese with a sweet yet tangy flavour. It combines well with sweet, ripe pears and peppery watercress. This salad is quick to make and should be assembled just before serving as a starter for entertaining, or an accompaniment to cold meat.

    Cook's tips

    The cheese can be broken up into small pieces, using your hands, if preferred.

    Ensure that you use ripe pears for this dish.

    An easy way to finely chop the chives is to bunch them together and snip into small pieces with a pair of sharp kitchen scissors.
