Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 9

arugula
anjou pear, halved and sliced
pomegranate, seeds removed
3/4 c red wine vinegar
1/2 c olive oil
2 tsp chopped shallots
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
fresh cracked pepper

Steps:

  • 1. I definitely recommend making the vinaigrette a day or two before, it allows the flavors to really meld. I love making vinaigrettes in mason jars or the like, its just really easy. So go head and pour in the red wine vinegar, olive oil, chopped shallot, dried oregano, salt and a little pepper. Refrigerate.
  • 2. To plate I used a shallow bowl, piled on a few big handfuls of the baby arugula, half a pears worth for each plate and a good sprinkling of the pomegranate seeds. Are the colors gorgeous together or what?!?!
  • 3. Give the vinaigrette a good shaking to combine everything before serving and drizzle just a bit over top. Finish with fresh cracked pepper.

This salad is packed with healthy ingredients! The arugula is a good source of vitamins and minerals, the pear provides fiber, and the pomegranate is full of antioxidants. The goat cheese is also a good source of calcium and protein.
