Steps:
- Tip the couscous into a heatproof bowl and pour over 140ml boiling water from the kettle. Cover and leave for 4 mins. Meanwhile, whisk the olive oil, mustard, vinegar and honey together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Toss the spinach, rocket and pears with the dressing. Fluff the couscous with a fork, then mix into the salad while still warm (this will wilt the greens slightly). Divide between two plates.
- Combine the ricotta and 2 tbsp water with most of the chives and the lemon zest. Top the salad with spoonfuls of the ricotta mixture, the ham and remaining chives. Finish with a grinding of black pepper, if you like.
