I would have never thought of this combination on my own. Thank goodness they already put these wonderful flavors together Down Under! This is so simple and so easy to make, you'll wonder why you didn't think of this earlier. And since pears are in season right now, pick one up and make this salad! It's a wonderful started to any meal, and everyone will think you're a genius for putting this together.
Ingredients
Arugala (aka Rocket)
Fresh pear slices
Shaved Parmesan
Toasted Walnuts (optional, but good!)
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 TBS brown sugar, plus a little extra
Directions
1. Arrange the arrugala and pear slices onto a plate.
2. Put the vinegar and the brown sugar into a pot. Heat on the stove for 30-60 seconds. That's all it takes!
3. Drizzel vinegar reduction over the salad.
4. Top with cheese and walnuts.
Options
You don't need to make the balsamic reduction. You could also just drizzle the vinegar over the greens.
Use any toasted nuts you'd like! Feel free to experiment.
So easy, so simple, and soooo good. You'll love the peppery bit of the arrugala with the sweetness of the pears, salty cheese, and tartness of the vinagar. And the crunch from the nuts is a nice touch.
