1. First make the dressing. Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl or place them in a screw-top jar and shake well to combine.

2. Peel, core and thinly slice the pears and place in a small bowl with the lemon juice. Toss well to prevent them from discoloring.

3. Arrange the pear slices, orange segments and chicory leaves on individual plates or in a large shallow bowl. Pour the dressing over.
