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 1.5–2 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
- Wash the pears thoroughly and use a mandoline slicer to slice them thinly. Arrange these slices slightly overlapping on a large serving plate.
- 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.
- 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.
