Salade tiède de poire, chèvre frais & noix

The idea

A delicate and elegant autumn salad, a perfect balance of freshness and indulgence. The ALCHEMIST replaces the classic vinaigrette, adding a lovely roundness with honey and mustard.

Ingredients for 4 people

  • 4 generous handfuls of seasonal salad
  • 2 ripe but firm pears
  • 160g of fresh goat cheese or fresh tomme
  • 1 handful of nuts
  • 4 tablespoons of THE ALCHEMIST – ELIXIR NO. 01
  • 1 knob of butter
  • Some homemade croutons
  • Fleur de sel
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Optional: cured ham, crispy bacon or fresh grapes

Preparation

Cut the pears into quarters. Sauté them briefly in a pan with a knob of butter, just to warm them through and lightly brown them. Arrange the salad on plates. Add the warm pears, crumbled fresh goat cheese, walnuts, and homemade croutons. Drizzle L'ALCHIMISTE – ELIXIR N°01 over the salad, then finish with a pinch of fleur de sel and freshly ground pepper.

A little touch from the chef

For a more bistro-style version, add a few slices of cured ham or small pieces of crispy bacon. Pear, goat cheese, and L'ALCHIMISTE make a very indulgent trio.
