Arugula Pear And Parmesan Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Toast nuts in small pan over medium heat until fragrant. Cool.
• Combine arugula and pear in a salad bowl, add nuts then dress the salad with lemon juice and olive oil, salt and pepper. Top salad with lots of blue cheese crumbles.

Steps:

• If the arugula has roots attached, cut them off. Fill the sink with cold water and toss the arugula for a few minutes to clean. Spin-dry the leaves and place them in a large bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well and place the salad on individual plates.
• With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on the arugula.

Steps:

• Peel and core the pears and slice thickly. Moisten with lemon juice to keep the flesh white.
• Combine the nut oil with the pears. Add the arugula leaves and toss.
• Turn the salad out onto four small plates with shaving of Parmesan cheese. Season with freshly ground pepper and serve with bread.
• You can sub the parmesan cheese for bleu cheese and add walnuts, if desired.

Steps:

• Peel and core the pears and slice them thin, lengthwise. Place the slices in a bowl and toss with two tablespoons of the vinegar.
• Mix the remaining vinegar with the oils and set aside.
• Place the arugula in a bowl, toss with three tablespoons of the dressing and divide the arugula among six salad plates. Spread the pear slices over the arugula and scatter the cheese, then the walnuts, over the top. Drizzle with the remaining dressing, season with pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Whisk together vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon shallot in a small bowl and let stand 10 minutes. Add 6 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chanterelles, stirring, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, and tablespoon shallot and sauté, stirring, 5 seconds. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
• Halve, core, and very thinly slice pear lengthwise, then divide slices among 8 salad plates. Toss arugula with just enough vinaigrette to lightly coat and mound in centers of plates. Arrange chanterelles around arugula. Shave 6 or 8 curls from cheese with a vegetable peeler onto each salad. Drizzle salads with some of remaining vinaigrette.

Steps:
