Divide the rocket leaves between four plates, or place on one large plate. Arrange the thinly sliced pears and the blue cheese pieces on top of the rocket. To make the dressing, mix the extra-virgin olive oil and the balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle some dressing over the top of the salad. Serve immediately.
