Method

  1. For the chimichurri dressing, finely chop the garlic, parsley, coriander and red chilli and put in a bowl. Or put all the ingredients in a jug and use a handheld stick blender to pulse until the herbs are finely chopped. Season with salt and stir in the red wine vinegar and olive oil. Set aside for the flavours to come together for 10 mins.
  2. Finely slice all the vegetables, using a mandolin for the beetroot if you have one. Wash your hands immediately after cutting the beetroot to prevent staining.
  3. Put the veg and pear in a large bowl and pour over half the dressing. Toss well to combine and tip onto a serving platter. When ready to server, scatter over the walnut pieces and spoon over the rest of the dressing.
