Kale, Pear + Carlin Pea Chopped Salad with Maple Butter Walnuts

We've all heard of a chopped salad but have you heard of a CARLN PEA?! These British-grown peas are similar to a chickpea, so work wonders in a salad. They have a nutty taste, similar to a chestnut, with a satisfying bite.

Feeds: 3-4

Ingredients

70 g kale
2 heads of chicory, halfed
3 ripe pears, quartered
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
70 g walnuts
1 jar of Queen Carlin Peas, drained
Parmesan, to serve (optional)

For the dressing

The juice of 1 large orange
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
2-3 tbsp olive oil

Made with:
Queen Carlin Peas

In collaboration with Hodmedod, these Queen Carlin Peas are some of thest of British-grown beans. Slowly cooked with a soft, delicate texture + nutty flavour, they’re a British substitution to a chickpea.

Directions

step 1
Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat and once melted, add the maple syrup. Tip the walnuts into the pan and give the pan a shake to coat the nuts in the buttery mixture. Toast for 2-3 minutes (it should start to smell sweet + buttery!)
step 2
Put the kale, chicory and pear onto a chopping board and roughly chop into bite sized chunks. Add the toasted walnuts and chop some more. Tip everything into a mixing bowl followed by the drained carlin peas and toss to combine.
step 3
Mix all of the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl with a pinch of flaky sea salt and pour this into the salad mixture. Toss well to coat.
step 4
Finish with a few shavings of parmesan, if you fancy.
