Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 4 cups arugula
  • 1 large ripe pear, sliced
  • 1 cup walnuts, toasted (Chopped)
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Base

    In a large salad bowl, place the arugula as the base.

    Make sure the arugula is clean and dry for better dressing adherence.
  2. Add the Pears

    Layer the sliced pears on top of the arugula.

    Choose a ripe pear for the best flavor.
  3. Incorporate Walnuts

    Sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the salad.

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey.

    Adjust honey according to your desired sweetness.
  6. Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

    Toss only lightly to avoid bruising the arugula.
  7. Season and Serve
