Equipment

Ingredients

Dressing

3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar or any mild white vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp Honey

Salad

2 cups Arugula
1 oz Goat Cheese 2 tablespoons
1 Pear sliced
½ oz Pistachios chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
1⅓ oz Prosciutto 3 slices, cut in half

Instructions

Place dressing ingredients in the bottom of a salad bowl and mix gently.
3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp Honey, salt and pepper
Place arugula over the dressing.
2 cups Arugula
Dolop goat cheese over arugula. Mix salad and ingredients gently using tongs to fold all ingredients.
1 oz Goat Cheese
Add pistachios.
½ oz Pistachios
Place sliced pears on top.
1 Pear
Take three slices of prosciutto and remove any fat by pulling it off each slice. Tear each slice of prosciutto to make smaller slices. Roll each piece of prosciutto and place strategically on salad all the way around the bowl.
1⅓ oz Prosciutto
Serve immediately.

Notes

This salad is best made and served immediately. The longer it sits the longer the arugula salad will wilt and soften. It won't look very appealing and will shrink down considerably.

If your pears are hard or not ripe yet, place them by a window for a couple of days. Then place them in the fridge to keep them fresh.
