Warm Pear and Couscous Salad with Bacon
with goat's cheese and honey mustard dressing
Creamy goat's cheese pairs oh so well with the juicy sweetness of fruits like the pear. A satiating element comes in the form of couscous while toasted almonds add crunch and a subtle smokiness.

Cooking Steps
1
- Place a pan over medium heat (no oil).
- Once hot, dry-fry the almonds, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 3-4 mins.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
TIP: Watch them closely—they can burn easily.
2
- Pour the couscous and stock into a bowl.
- Stir in 200ml boiling water (4P: 500ml | 6P: 600ml).
- Cover with a plate or cling film. Leave aside for 10 mins or until ready to serve.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
3
- Halve and core the pear. Thinly slice lengthways.
- Once the almonds are toasted, return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the pear and fry until caramelised and charred, 2-3 mins each side.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the tomato. Trim and roughly chop the cucumber.
- Halve, peel and roughly chop the shallot. Pick the mint leaves and roughly chop.
NOTE: Adding bacon? Chop into 2cm cubes then fry along with the nectarines, 3-4 mins.
4
- Toss the couscous with the mint, cucumber, shallot, tomatoes, paprika, honey mustard dressing and one-third of the goat's cheese.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide between bowls and serve topped with toasted almonds and crumble over the remaining goat's cheese.
- Arrange the charred pear on top of each salad.
