Gloucester and worcester ploughman's salad

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients

3 slices Granary bread
3 tbsp ploughman's pickle
75g Double Gloucester cheese
dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 (130g) bag Bistro salad leaves
1 pear, cored and thinly sliced
Dressing:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp cider vinegar
dash more Worcestershire sauce
pinch of caster sugar

Method

Toast the bread on both sides under a medium grill. Divide the pickle between the slices and top with the cheese. Cook under the grill for about 1 minute until the cheese has melted.

Use a knife to spread the cheese to the edges of the bread - this will stop the crust burning. Sprinkle over the Worcestershire sauce over and grill for a further 2mins. Whilst this happens, whisk all the dressing ingredients together.

Empty the leaves into a large bowl, add the pears and the dressing and toss lightly together. Divide between 4 plates and top each salad with the cheese croutes. Serve immediately.
