Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons minced shallot
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound fresh chanterelles (preferably small; halved if large)
1 very firm Bartlett pear
6 ounces baby arugula
1 (1/3-pound) piece Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon shallot in a small bowl and let stand 10 minutes. Add 6 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chanterelles, stirring, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, and tablespoon shallot and sauté, stirring, 5 seconds. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
  • Halve, core, and very thinly slice pear lengthwise, then divide slices among 8 salad plates. Toss arugula with just enough vinaigrette to lightly coat and mound in centers of plates. Arrange chanterelles around arugula. Shave 6 or 8 curls from cheese with a vegetable peeler onto each salad. Drizzle salads with some of remaining vinaigrette.

I thought the cider vinaigrette was a bit too strong. I'll try using a different dressing next time.

I'm not a fan of pears, so I substituted apples instead. The salad was still delicious!

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different type of dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of arugula, but this salad changed my mind. The other ingredients really balanced out the peppery flavor of the arugula.
