Juicy and cooling, sweet pear with a strong, fresh mint note.
Pear and mint are a light, refreshing pairing: the pear brings juicy, honeyed sweetness, the mint a clear coolness. Lamb's lettuce is one of the mildest salad leaves and adds colour, folate and vitamin C without bitterness. Pears contribute fibre, especially when the skin stays on.
