Ingredients

Lemon Vinaigrette

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • teaspoon Kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Arugula Salad

  • 6 ounces baby arugula 8 cups loosely packed
  • 2 small pears cored and sliced
  • 4 ounces cherry or grape tomatoes halved
  • cup sliced almonds
  • 2 ounces shaved Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Combine all lemon vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
  • Place the arugula in a large bowl. Add the sliced pears, tomatoes, sliced almonds and shaved parmesan on top of the arugula.
  • Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to mix. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container, such as a mason jar, for up to one week. The olive oil may make the chilled dressing solidify over time. If this happens, just let the vinaigrette come to room temperature and then shake or whisk it to recombine before using.
