Pear Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette

Ingredients

6 servings

Instructions

  1. (Optional) Soak the onions in a small bowl of ice water for 10 minutes to remove some of their harsh flavors. Drain well, and pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a mason jar, combine all of the salad ingredients and shake until well combined.
  3. In a large shallow salad serving bowl, add your arugula greens. Top with pears and onions.
  4. Sprinkle on goat cheese, cranberries, and nuts.
  5. Shake your dressing again if it has separated and drizzle it over the salad just before serving. You can serve with or without tossing; it’s prettier if you don’t toss it, and don’t worry, the dressing will work its way down to the greens.
