The beautiful flavours of prosciutto, sweet pear and soft goats cheese combine to make this magnificent salad starter.
- Place goat's cheese in a shallow glass dish. Combine the garlic, oregano, thyme, lemon rind and half the oil in a jug. Drizzle cheese evenly with oil mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to develop the flavours.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add half the prosciutto and cook for 1 minute each side or until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto. Coarsely chop.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the remaining oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add half the pear slices and cook for 3 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with remaining pear. Add the walnuts to the pan and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until toasted. Remove from heat.
- Whisk together the vinegar, mustard and remaining oil in a jug. Season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the watercress, pear and prosciutto in a large bowl. Drizzle with dressing and gently toss to combine.
- Arrange the salad on serving plates. Top with goat's cheese and drizzle with a little marinade. Sprinkle with walnuts and serve immediately.
