I just made this salad as a trial run for Thanksgiving. It got many thumbs up, soooo I thought I would share. The recipe comes from a supper club out of Athens, Georgia. The supper club has this rule that they never make the same thing twice. They may want to make an exception as I plan on serving this salad on a frequent basis.
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- salt and ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme
- 3 large handfuls of baby arugula
- 2 pears sliced thinly on a mandoline
- 1/2 cup salted roasted pumpkin seeds
- 3 ounces fresh goat cheese crumbled
Whisk oilve oil with lemon juice honey and chopped thyme. Season with salt and pepper. In separate large bowl mix arugula with pear slices and pumpkin seeds. Add dressing, I did not use all of it. Top with crumbled goat cheese and serve.

ReplyDeleteI've never teamed pears with goat cheese.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite salads is pears, gorgonzola and walnuts. Your combination of pears, goat cheese and pumpkin seeds appeals to me- and I like the light touch of honey.
Looks great, I love the addition of pumpkin seeds. I like your blog! And thank you for visiting mine!
