Arugula and Pear Salad with Goat Cheese and Toasted Walnuts

05/26/15 | In My Kitchen, Low Carb Recipes

If you’re like me then you just love salads.  I’m a big fan of all types of salads. I especially enjoy creating my own scrumptious salads to enjoy during lunchtime.  I’m always on the lookout for new and creative ways to spruce up my salads.  Recently I have been experimenting with arugula as the base for my salads.  I put together many different versions of my arugula salad but one of them stood out as being the best.  The ingredients are so simple.

Arugula and pear salad

Recipe by Chef Antonetta. Total time: 15 minutes. Prep time: 5 Min. Cook: 10 min. Yield: 8 servings.

Ingredients for dressing:

2 TBS finely chopped shallot

3 TBS extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 TBS balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt & pepper to taste and to liking

Ingredients for Arugula and Pear salad:

1/2 cup chopped roasted nuts ( I like pecans or walnuts)

2 soft pears (Bartlett pears is my choice)

4 cups arugula, trimmed

1/2 goat cheese or gorgonzola

To prepare dressing: Whisk shallot, oil, vinegar, mustard, salt & pepper in a small bowl.

To prepare salad: Toast walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.

Just before serving, cut pears into slices. Place in a large bowl. Add lettuce, arugula and dressing; toss well. Top with walnuts or your favorite nuts. Try it! You’ll love it. Let me know if you did.

Goes awesome with Maple Pecan Salmon
