Pear Parmesan & Rocket Salad



This simple combination of fresh flavors makes this salad a great item to bring to a BBQ. The arugula in Australia (known as "rocket") is a little less bitter than the variety I commonly buy in Texas. The leaves are also a longer and have a sweeter taste with less pepper. If you find arugula too overpowering on it's own, I suggest doing a 50/50 mix with baby spinach leaves.

Pear Parmesan & Rocket Salad



Ingredients

1 green pear
Shaved parmesan
Arugula (which the Aussie's call 'rocket')

Preparation

Thinly slice the pear lengthwise, place on top of arugula, and add shaved parmesan. Dress with you favorite balsamic or red wine vinaigrette!
