Step-by-step

  1. Prepare your pears by gently washing them, cutting them into quarters and removing their cores. Thinly slice the quarters.
  2. Cut the fennel bulb in half and finely slice each half. If you are lucky enough to find one with fennel fronds (the green dill-like top) then throw that into the salad too as it will taste delicious.
  3. In a large bowl, gently toss the pear, fennel, rocket, poppy seeds and lemon zest.
  4. Make the dressing by whisking together the olive oil and lemon juice and tossing through the salad.
