Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 bunches arugula, washed and dried, stems trimmed (Look for 5 or 6 ounce sacks of washed and trimmed arugula leaves, available in some markets)
1 head bibb lettuce, torn
1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
1/2 lemon, juiced
8 ounces Maytag or other blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/4 cup apricot all fruit spread, found near jams and jellies (preferred brand Polaner)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball the amount
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine arugula leaves and bibb lettuce in a salad bowl. Squeeze a little lemon juice over pear slices to keep them from browning. Arrange them on top of lettuces. Top salad with blue cheese crumbles. Combine vinegar and apricot preserves. Stream in oil as you whisk dressing. Pour dressing over salad, season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and serve.

I didn't like the apricot vinaigrette. It was too sweet and overpowering.

I had a hard time finding arugula at my grocery store. I ended up using spinach instead.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less apricot preserves next time.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, so I used feta instead. It was still really good!

This salad was a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The peppery arugula, sweet pears, tangy blue cheese, and creamy apricot vinaigrette came together perfectly.
