Arugula Salad With Grilled Fruit Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a griddle over a hot grill or burner, or preheat an indoor grill.
• Combine arugula, half the pistachios, and basil in a large bowl.
• Whisk together vinegars, salt and pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• Cut apricots in half and remove pits. Brush cut side with remaining olive oil. Grill for about 2 minutes on the cut side, until seared but intact. Remove from the heat.
• Toss together arugula mixture, dressing and half the apricots. Arrange on a platter. Arrange the remaining apricots, goat cheese or feta and remaining pistachios over the top, and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat a grill with medium-high heat. Toss the plums in 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fruit over medium-high heat until marked and slightly soft, about 2 minutes per side.
• 2. Lay 2 slices bresaola onto each of 4 plates. Roll up 2 additional slices bresaola and cut into strips; set aside.
• 3. Whisk together the lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, honey, salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl. Add the arugula and toss to coat. Top the bresaola with the arugula and grilled fruit. Top each salad with 1/4 burrata and sliced bresaola.

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium.
• Place the pistachios in a shallow, heavy pan and place on the grill rack. Pull down the lid (make sure the ventilation holes are open), and smoke for about 3 minutes. Open the lid once, shake the pan back and forth to keep the nuts from burning, and continue smoking another minute or two, until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, toss the pears with the olive oil. Place on the hottest part of the grill rack, turning until there are light grill marks on each of the pear wedges, about 3 minutes. Remove.
• Place the cheese rounds on the grill rack over the medium-hot spot on the grill and cook just until the cheese is branded lightly with grill lines. Flip carefully and repeat on the other side. Remove.
• Divide the arugula evenly among four plates. Cut each cheese round into quarters. Top the arugula with alternating wedges of grilled ricotta salata and grilled pears. Add the smoked pistachios.
• Make the dressing:
• Whisk together all the dressing ingredients until smooth and pour in equal amounts over each salad. Serve.
