Sweet and salty, soft and crunchy, rocket and pear salad has a ton of flavor and texture from Asian pear, blue cheese, walnuts and spicy rocket. Easily a main course or a side dish.
Preheat oven to 350’F. Toss yams with oil and roast 20-25 minutes until soft but still firm when pierced with fork. Blanch green beans in boiling water for 2 minutes then plunge into ice water to stop cooking and drain in colander until ready to serve.
When ready to serve (or up to an hour before) add rocket and any other greens along with pears to a bowl and gently toss with half of dressing and then arrange on a long platter. Top with green beans, yams, walnuts and blue cheese, drizzle remaining salad dressing over and serve.
