In a small bowl whisk together the walnut oil, olive oil, mustard and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. 3. In a large bowl toss together the rocket, radicchio and chicory with most of the dressing, reserving 2 tbsp. 4. Cut the pears into quarters, core, cut into thin slices and toss with the remaining dressing. 5. Arrange the salad leaves on a large serving dish, scatter over the pears and walnuts and crumble over the gorgonzola. Serve immediately.
