ARUGULA SALAD WITH GRILLED APRICOTS AND PISTACHIOS



Arugula Salad With Grilled Apricots and Pistachios image

Pungent arugula contrasts beautifully with fruit of all kinds. Grilling the apricots deepens their flavor and makes them stand out against the arugula even more. You'll be able to make this beautiful salad only during the summer's short apricot season, and even then, you should buy the fruits at the farmers' market so you can sample them to make sure they are juicy and sweet.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup shelled pistachios
4 large pears, peeled, cored, and halved
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 (1/3-inch-thick) round slices ricotta salata or Greek manouri cheese
8 cups trimmed, torn arugula leaves
For the dressing

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to medium.
  • Place the pistachios in a shallow, heavy pan and place on the grill rack. Pull down the lid (make sure the ventilation holes are open), and smoke for about 3 minutes. Open the lid once, shake the pan back and forth to keep the nuts from burning, and continue smoking another minute or two, until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

  • Divide the arugula evenly among four plates. Cut each cheese round into quarters. Top the arugula with alternating wedges of grilled ricotta salata and grilled pears. Add the smoked pistachios.
