Ploughman's Salad

Ploughman's Salad

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 5 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients

3 slices Granary bread

3 tbsp ploughman's pickle

75g Double Gloucester cheese

dash of Worcestershire sauce

1 (130g) bag Bistro salad leaves

1 pear, cored and thinly sliced

Dressing:

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp cider vinegar

dash more Worcestershire sauce

pinch of caster sugar

To make the cheese croutes toast the bread on both sides under a medium grill. Divide the pickle between the slices and top with the cheese. Cook under the grill for about 1 minute until the cheese has melted.
Use a knife to spread the cheese to the edges of the bread - this will stop the crust burning. Sprinkle the Worcestershire sauce over the bread and cheese and grill for a further 2mins. Whilst this happens, whisk all the dressing ingredients together.
Cut the toast into bite size cheese croutes.
Empty the leaves into a large bowl, add the pears and the dressing and toss lightly together. Divide between 2 plates and top each salad with the cheese croutes. Serve immediately.
