Everyone needs a go-to green salad in their repertoire, just like this one. The sweetness of pear, crunch of pine nuts, peppery kick of rocket and sharpness of Parmesan bring plenty of flavour and texture, but it's still super-easy to pull together.

Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toast the pine nuts tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Trim the ends of the baby broccoli and cut any thicker stalks in half lengthways. Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the baby broccoli with a dash of water, tossing, until just tender, 4-5 minutes.
While the baby broccoli is cooking, thinly slice the pear (see ingredients). Pick and thinly slice the mint leaves.
In a large bowl, add a drizzle of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Add the spinach & rocket mix, pear, baby broccoli, grated Parmesan cheese and mint. Toss to coat. TIP: Make the dressing in a serving bowl to save on washing up!
Transfer the pear and baby broccoli salad to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the toasted pine nuts and drizzle with some balsamic glaze.
