Caramelised Pear and Rocket (Arugula) Salad With Blue Cheese image

This is just so simple and easy to do but is full of flavour as well. I did use pine nuts when I made this and they worked out quite well. I would suggest a good robust blue for this or Gorgonzola.

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

20 ounces arugula, picked through, rinsed and spun dry
16 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (toast in small skillet for 5-6 minutes, until golden and fragrant)
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine
1 1/2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons honey (if you have greek thyme honey you're set!)
1/3 teaspoon coriander

Steps:

  • Put the arugula and cherry tomato halves into a large bowl.
  • Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  • Whisk all the dressing ingredients until emulsified and dress the salad.
  • Toss well to coat and distribute amongst 4 salad plates.
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds over top.

Tips:

  • Choose the best arugula: Look for arugula with fresh, bright green leaves. Avoid any wilted or yellowing leaves.
  • Wash the arugula thoroughly: Rinse the arugula under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prepare the arugula: Dry the arugula thoroughly with a salad spinner or paper towels. Remove any tough stems.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and a good-quality olive oil.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Use just enough dressing to coat the salad leaves, not drown them.
  • Add some crunch: To add some extra crunch to your salad, try adding some nuts, seeds, or croutons.
  • Enjoy the salad immediately: Arugula salad is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The arugula will start to wilt if it sits for too long.

There are many different ways to make arugula salad, so you can easily find a recipe that suits your taste.
