Categories     Salad

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup raw pecans (halves or pieces)
5 ounces baby arugula
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) goat cheese or feta, crumbled
1 large ripe Bartlett pear, thinly sliced
1 Honeycrisp or Gala apple, thinly sliced
Arils from 1 pomegranate
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
About 10 twists of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To toast the pecans, place them in a skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring often, until they're fragrant and starting to turn golden on the edges, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pecans from the heat and roughly chop them (no need to chop if you started with pecan pieces). Set aside.
  • Arrange the arugula across a large serving platter (or bowl, but the salad looks prettiest on a platter). Sprinkle the chopped pecans and crumbled goat cheese over the arugula. Fan out your slices of pear and apple and arrange them across the salad in sections (see photos). Sprinkle all over with fresh pomegranate arils.
  • To prepare the dressing, combine all of the ingredients and whisk until blended. Taste, and if it isn't quite zippy enough, add another teaspoon of vinegar.
  • Wait to dress the salad until you're ready to serve (the dressing will wilt the greens over time). When you're ready, drizzle the ginger dressing lightly all over the salad (you might not need all of it). Serve promptly.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PEACHES, GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL



Arugula Salad With Peaches, Goat Cheese and Basil image

This simple, quintessential summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don't need much fussing (or much cooking at all, in this case). Here, peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy summer peaches, but the recipe can be tweaked to suit all seasons: If you can't find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place.

ARUGULA, CHERRY AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Arugula, Cherry and Goat Cheese Salad image

This salad was inspired by a dish billed as Cherries and Goat Cheese on the menu at Westside Tavern in Los Angeles. Even if you're not inclined to add fruits like blueberries and cranberries to salads, this combination could change your mind. Even sweet cherries have a tart edge to them, and the combination of their sweet/tart flavor and juicy but firm texture with the pungent arugula, creamy goat cheese and crunchy nuts works very well.

Choosing the right ingredients

Ingredients play a vital role in any recipe, and the arugula salad with goat cheese and pomegranate recipe is no exception. It is essential to choose the right ingredients to ensure that your salad turns out perfectly.
Arugula leaves
Arugula leaves are the primary ingredient of this salad, and it is crucial to choose fresh and crisp arugula leaves to create a perfect salad. When purchasing arugula leaves, look for bright green leaves that are free from any yellow or brown spots. The leaves should not be wilted or slimy.
Goat cheese
Goat cheese is the perfect complement to arugula leaves in this salad. When choosing goat cheese, look for soft and creamy cheese that can crumble easily. The cheese should be free from any mold or off-flavors.
Pomegranate seeds
Pomegranate seeds are the star of this salad, and it is essential to choose fresh and ripe pomegranate fruits. When selecting the fruit, look for the one that is heavy, indicating that it is packed with seeds. The skin should be firm and smooth, and the color should be bright red or orange.

Preparation tips

Once you have selected the right ingredients, it is time to prepare them to make the perfect arugula salad with goat cheese and pomegranate recipes.
Cleaning and washing
When you bring home the arugula leaves, wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. It is best to wash the leaves in cold water and then dry them with a paper towel or a salad spinner.
Cutting and chopping
After washing the leaves, it is time to cut and chop them. Remove the stems from the leaves, and then chop them into bite-size pieces.
Crumbling the goat cheese
To crumble the goat cheese, take it out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for a few minutes. Once it becomes soft, use a fork or your fingers to crumble it.
Extracting pomegranate seeds
Extracting pomegranate seeds can be a bit challenging, but there is no need to worry. Cut the top off the pomegranate fruit, and then make four to six cuts around the skin, being careful not to cut too deep into the seeds. Now gently pry open the pomegranate fruit into halves, and then invert one half over a bowl. Use a wooden spoon to spank the back of the fruit gently, and the seeds will start to fall into the bowl.

Dressing your salad

The dressing is what brings all the ingredients of the arugula salad with goat cheese and pomegranate recipes together. Here are some tips to make the perfect dressing for this salad.
Choosing the right oil and vinegar
The oil and vinegar are the base of the dressing, and it is essential to choose the right ones to create a perfect dressing. Extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar are the perfect combination for this salad.
Adding lemon juice and honey
To add a tangy and sweet flavor to the dressing, you can add fresh lemon juice and honey. Lemon juice adds a tangy flavor, while honey adds a sweet taste to the dressing.
Seasoning with salt and pepper
Salt and pepper are the essential seasonings for any dressing. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the dressing to bring out the flavors of the salad even more.

Assembling your salad

Assembling the salad is the final step in creating the perfect arugula salad with goat cheese and pomegranate recipes. Here are some tips to assemble the salad.
Add the arugula leaves
Start by adding the arugula leaves into a salad bowl or a plate. Make sure to distribute the leaves evenly.
Add the goat cheese and pomegranate seeds
Next, add the crumbled goat cheese and pomegranate seeds over the arugula leaves. Mix gently to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Drizzle the dressing
