A simple salad that feels like a treat.

20 Min.

Preparation

1. Prepare the salad base:
Wash the lamb’s lettuce thoroughly and spin dry. Slice the pear into thin wedges (with or without skin) and finely chop the onion. Combine everything in a large salad bowl or arrange directly on plates.

2. Caramelize the walnuts:
Melt the margarine in a pan over medium heat. Stir in the sugar and let it caramelize until golden brown. Add the coarsely chopped walnuts and stir to coat with the caramel. Deglaze with wine and let simmer for 1–2 minutes until the liquid evaporates. Transfer the walnuts to a plate and let cool.

3. Make the raspberry dressing:
Blend the (thawed) raspberries with vinegar, walnut oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar using an immersion blender until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Assemble the salad:
Distribute the lamb’s lettuce with pear slices and onion on serving plates. Drizzle with raspberry dressing and top with the caramelized walnuts. Serve immediately.
