Arugula, Pear & Pomegranate Salad

December 13, 2013

This right here is one of my very favorite salads. Its incredibly simple with just a handful of ingredients but the colors and flavors are beautiful! Peppery tender arugula, sweet pears & the sweet crunch of pomegranate seeds. I’ll be serving this salad at Christmas dinner; after antipasto and before dinner. To dress this, I make a very basic red wine & shallot vinaigrette and finish off with fresh cracked pepper.

Arugula
Anjou Pear, sliced
Pomegranate, seeds removed
3/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 olive oil
2 tsp chopped shallot
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
fresh cracked pepper

I definitely recommend making the vinaigrette a day or two before, it allows the flavors to really meld. I love making vinaigrettes in mason jars or the like, its just really easy. So go head and pour in...
