Choosing one or two wonderful British cheeses and serving them this way with a lively pear salad is a contemporary alternative to the traditional cheeseboard.

1 tsp Dijon mustard

2½ tbsp white wine vinegar

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp walnut oil

1 tsp yellow mustard seeds

1 tbsp tarragon, finely chopped

1 spring onion, thinly sliced

4 Conference pears, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

8 thin wedges British cheddar or similar

8 thin wedges Stilton or another British cheese

Biscuits, crackers and whole walnuts, to serve

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix the mustard and vinegar. Add the oils, mustard seeds, tarragon, spring onion and salt and pepper. Add the pears to the dressing, toss well, then cover and chill for up to 4 hrs until ready to serve. Place a wedge of each cheese on small serving plates, then divide the pear salad between the plates. Serve with biscuits, crackers and walnuts.
