Also lovely as a light lunch – especially when the first pears are ready and the sun is still warm enough to eat in the garden!

You may use whichever nuts you choose – pine nuts are good for instance – although walnuts are more traditional.

2 ripe eating pears
1 small crisp lettuce, washed.
80 grams chopped dates
40 grams chopped walnuts
A little parsley chopped
A little lemon juice

Mayonnaise or French dressing

Always wash your hands before preparing food.

Peel and cut the pears in half
Sprinkle with a little lemon juice to stop them going too brown.
Use a sharp spoon to take out the core, then scoop out a little of the flesh to make a hollow.
Chop the flesh and mix with dates, walnuts, chopped parsley and a little of the lettuce finely chopped. Add in some mayonnaise or French dressing to your taste.
Arrange some small crisp lettuce leaves on 4 plates, place the pears on top.
Spoon into each pear the date and nut mixture .

Garnish with a little sprig of parsley.
