Notes

  • Cheese: Change up the cheese by adding your favorite crumbly blue cheese for an arugula pear blue cheese salad with extra kick! Or, add goat cheese crumbles for an extra creamy salad.
  • Fruit: Pear is a favorite for its sweet and delicate flavor, but ripe strawberries are also delicious in this salad. You could also try a nice sweet apple, or dried cranberries in a pinch! Just watch how many, as they have a strong flavor.
  • Meat: This is a meat-free recipe, but if you happen to have a few slices of leftover deli meat, they can make a delicious addition to this salad! I find that leftover prosciutto makes for an extra luxurious ingredient.
