This salad isn’t shy.
Roasted beets bring the sweetness, pears add freshness, arugula has bite, and blue cheese… well, blue cheese makes an entrance.

Salad
3-4
15 minutes
40 minutes
2 medium beets plus foil for roasting
5 cups arugula (about 5 oz)
1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
¼ red onion, thinly sliced
½ cup toasted walnuts
½ cup crumbled blue cheese
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3 tablespoons Meyer Lemon Olive Oil
2 tablespoons Pear White Balsamic Vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Pinch of salt and pepper
Roast the beets: Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim beet greens (if attached), scrub clean, and wrap each beet in foil. Place on a baking sheet and roast 40–50 minutes, until fork-tender. Let cool slightly, then peel skins (they slip off easily with a paper towel). Slice into wedges.
Make the vinaigrette: Whisk together Meyer Lemon Olive Oil, Pear White Balsamic, Dijon, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Assemble the salad: In a large bowl or platter, layer arugula, roasted beet wedges, pear slices, and red onion.
Top it off: Scatter walnuts and blue cheese over the salad. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
Dress & serve: Drizzle with vinaigrette just before serving. Toss gently or leave drizzled for a pretty presentation.
