Ingredients
Dressing:
-
¼ cup white wine vinegar
-
1 teaspoon honey, melted
-
3 tablespoons lemon juice
-
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
-
sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste
Salad:
-
3 medium Bartlett pears, peeled
-
6 ounces baby arugula
-
½ cup chopped hazelnuts, divided
For the Garnish:
-
3 sprigs fresh thyme
Directions
-
Combine vinegar and honey in a glass jar; whisk to combine. Add lemon juice, oil, thyme, sea salt, and pepper; cover and shake until emulsified.
-
Reserve 1/2 of a pear. Slice remaining pears thinly with a sharp knife or mandolin.
-
Place arugula in a mixing bowl. Add sliced pears. Pour dressing over top, add 1/2 of the hazelnuts, and season with more salt and pepper. Toss gently until well coated. Taste and adjust seasonings according to taste.
-
Slice reserved pear half thinly and arrange it in a fan pattern on the salad platter you are using. Arrange the salad on top. Garnish with remaining hazelnuts and thyme leaves. Serve immediately.
Cook's Notes:
You can use verjuice juice instead of white wine vinegar and honey.
To prevent your pears from browning, place them in salted water for 10 minutes (ratio 1 teaspoon salt for every 2 cups of water). You will be amazed at what a huge difference this will make. Then strain and rinse them just before making up your salad.
