Description

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 firm but ripe Pears (e.g., Bartlett)
  • 6 ounces Arugula
  • Flaky salt and black pepper to taste
  • Approximately 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Approximately 1.5โ€“2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup walnuts, chopped (or any nut you prefer)
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta
  • Optional: hot honey

Instructions

  1. Wash the pears thoroughly and use a mandoline slicer to slice them thinly. Arrange these slices slightly overlapping on a large serving plate.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the arugula with flaky salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then toss gently to coat.
  3. Arrange the dressed arugula over the pear slices. Finish by scattering chopped walnuts, pomegranate seeds, and crumbled feta on top. Optional: drizzle with hot honey for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Make sure to use firm but ripe pears for the best presentation and taste.
  • Lightly toast the walnuts for enhanced flavor.
  • Avoid overdressing the arugula to maintain the balance of flavors.
  • Substitute feta with goat cheese or blue cheese for a tangier taste.
