Rocket & Sliced Pear Salad With Caramelized Balsamic Vinegar

Submitted by Ninna

"Found this online a long time ago but have changed the recipe to add the caramelized balsamic vinegar. The balsamic will thicken on reducing."

 

• Ready In: 25mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 bunch rocket (Aguilar)
• 2 pears, finely sliced
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1⁄2 cup goat cheese, crumbled (or shaved Parmesan or crumbled feta if you prefer)
• balsamic vinegar
• black pepper

directions

1. Sprinkle pear slices with a little lemon juice and arrange over rocket on a medium sized platter.
2. Sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with the caramelized balsamic vinegar.
3. Serve immediately with ground black pepper.
4. To caramelize balsamic vinegar, simply reduce a 500 ml bottle of Balsamic Vinegar down to about 150 ml (2/3 cup) over high heat for approx 15 minutes - it will keep for several weeks in the pantry or you can caramelize less to use for this salad only.
