Ingredients

Pear & Watercress Salad - 12/23/2005

2 firm, ripe pears 2 bunches watercress
2 Tbl. thyme 2 tsp. white truffle oil
1 tsp. salt 2 Tbl. roasted pine nuts
2 tsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. black pepper
Small chunk Reggiano parmesan cheese

Directions

Remove core and slice pear into small julienned strips. Place in a bowl. Add thyme and white truffle oil. You can substitute olive oil for the truffle oil. Add salt, pine nuts (toasted in the oven for a few minutes), lemon juice and black pepper.

Add watercress to the bowl and finish with shavings of Reggiano parmesan cheese. Toss together. The lemon juice and truffle oil make a vinaigrette to coat the salad. Serves 4.
