I discovered I love fruit in my salad when I started making salad recipes for our website. Pears are a lovely addition to this salad, but you could substitute apples if you don't have pears. This salad is a must for the holidays.
Ingredients
Salad
- ½ cup Pecans, toasted (optional)
- 5 ounces Baby arugula
- 2 ounces (about ½ cup) goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 large ripe Bartlett pear, thinly sliced
- Arils from 1 pomegranate
Rosemary Honey Ginger dressing
Directions
- To toast the pecans and roughly chop them. Set aside.
- Arrange the arugula across a large serving platter. Sprinkle the chopped pecans and crumbled goat cheese over the arugula.
- Fan out your slices of pear and sprinkle all over with fresh pomegranate arils.
- To prepare the dressing, combine all of the ingredients and whisk until blended. Taste, and if it isn’t quite zippy enough, add another teaspoon of vinegar.
- Wait to dress the salad until you’re ready to serve (the dressing will wilt the greens over time). When you’re ready, drizzle the dressing lightly all over the salad.
- Serve promptly.
