Pear and Parmigiano Salad

Sometimes less is more, especially when you combine outstanding flavors. In this case the combination is peppery arugula, a juicy sweet pear and a savory, creamy cheese. Drizzle that with a simple vinaigrette and some freshly ground black pepper.

Key Ingredients in This Recipe

You’ll find the complete list of ingredients and exact quantities in the recipe below.

• Pear – I used a Bartlett pear, but a Comice is also good. Pick a juicy and sweet variety.
