Pear Chicory and Roquefort Salad Recipe

Instructions

• 1

  Take 2 to 3 heads of red and white chicory and wash them properly. Drain them and separate their leaves.  Now, place the separated chicory leaves in a large bowl and pour in iced water until the leaves are covered. Let them soak in the cold water for around 10 minutes.
  
  Note: You can soak the chicory leave 10 minutes ahead of making the salad in order to save your time.

Wash one fresh pear, peel it and cut it into fine slices. Set them aside as well. Now, crumble the Roquefort cheese and set them along the other slices.
