Pear and Pistachio Cos Salad

Pear and Pistachio Cos Salad

This pear and pistachio salad is simply an assembly of beautiful fresh cos leaves, sweet pears and crunchy pistachios. Arrange the leaves in a spiral fashion on a flat plate and nestle the pear slices on top. We’ve just planted some cos lettuce in our vegetable garden so I’m looking forward to some more home-grown salads.
