Step 1
Start by tearing or slicing the savoy cabbage into bite-sized pieces and pop them into a big salad bowl. Cut the pear into small chunks, sprinkle a little lemon juice over them to keep them fresh, and give them a gentle toss. Add the pears to the cabbage along with some chopped walnuts and a generous grating of Pecorino Romano cheese. Season everything with a bit of freshly ground pepper. Finally, drizzle some good-quality extra-virgin olive oil and a splash of champagne vinegar over the salad. Give it all a good toss to combine the flavors, then it’s ready to enjoy.

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best texture, consume within 2 days as the cabbage may soften over time. Avoid adding dressings until just before serving to keep it crisp.
