Arugula Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette image

Arugula is a delicious alternative to lettuce, and the citrus juice dressing is a delicious alternative to heavier store bought dressings. A lovely precursor to most meals, or a great stand-alone in the summer. Garnish with walnuts or sunflower seeds, if you like.

Tips:

To make the most flavorful salad, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for brightly colored arugula, ripe pears, and creamy aged Gouda cheese.
If you don't have aged Gouda, you can substitute another hard cheese, such as Parmesan or Manchego.
For a sweeter salad, use a sweeter pear variety, such as a Bartlett or Bosc pear.
If you don't have whole-grain mustard, you can use Dijon mustard or another type of mustard that you like.
To make the savory praline, be sure to use raw pecans. Roasted pecans will not have the same flavor or texture.
If you don't have time to make the savory praline, you can use store-bought candied pecans or walnuts instead.

Conclusion:

This arugula salad with aged Gouda, savory praline, and whole-grain mustard dressing is a delicious and elegant salad that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at your table. With fresh ingredients, simple steps, and a delightful taste, this salad is a must-try for any food lover. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors in every bite!
