Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the crispy pig ears

    Fry the pig ears in hot oil until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

    Toast the walnuts

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts until fragrant, about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool and chop roughly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the pears

    Core and slice the pears into thin wedges.

  4. 4

    Slice the fennel

    Remove the fronds from the fennel bulb, then slice it thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife.

  5. 5

    Assemble the salad

    In a large bowl, combine crispy pig ears, toasted walnuts, pear slices, and sliced fennel. Crumble the Pave du Nord cheese on top.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with your favorite fennel-apple dressing and toss gently to combine.
