Method

Put the sliced pears in a large bowl and cover with a little of the lemon juice to stop them discolouring.
Divide the pears between four plates or arrange on a serving platter, along with the fennel, pomegranate seeds, Parmesan and chives.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining lemon juice and zest with the olive oil and the sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
To serve, season the dressing to taste and drizzle it over the pear salad.
