Ingredients

2 medium (about 1 pound) fennel bulbs

2 ripe Bosc or Asian pears

4 ounces pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano (Parmesan) cheese

4 ounces (about 1 cup) walnut halves

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/3 cup balsamic vinegar, preferably aged

Directions

Trim the stems from the fennel, cut out the cores and remove the tough outer layers. Slice the fennel lengthwise into thin, sickle-shaped slices.

Quarter the unpeeled pears lengthwise, remove and discard the cores and then, using a sharp knife, a mandoline or a vegetable peeler, carve each quarter into slices between 1/8- and 1/4-inch thick.

Layer the fennel and pear loosely on a platter or individual plates. Using a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer, shave the cheese into curls or ribbons and intersperse them with the pear and cheese.

If desired, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the skillet occasionally, just until they are warmed, about 3 minutes.

Scatter the walnuts over the salad. Drizzle each salad with 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil, being careful to cover as much of the ingredients as possible. Then sprinkle drops of vinegar over each salad, using a scant 1 tablespoon for each plate. The oil should form a slick surface over the salad, and the vinegar should form tiny chestnut-colored drops atop the oil.
