This is an irresistable salad. It makes a lovely first course, or side dish. I've actually used chopped cocoa beans in places of the nuts, but since these are hard to acquire, I haven't included them here. Ingredients:
2 bartlett pears, cored,quartered and cut in slices |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
2 tablespoons sugar |
3 cups arugula |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar |
kosher salt |
fresh ground pepper |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, cut into shavings |
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Toss the pears in melted butter and sugar.
2. Roast at 500 degrees til slightly browned on both sides.
3. Take out to cool slightly, but you can serve slightly warm on salad.
4. Whisk the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper together to make the dressing.
5. Toss the arugula, pears and dressing til all leaves are coated.
6. Toss again gently with the cheese and nuts or just sprinkle on top of each plate.
