Arugula Persimmon Pear Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Toast nuts in small pan over medium heat until fragrant. Cool.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• 2. In a medium bowl, toss the pears, sugar, and butter. Arrange the pears in a single layer in a baking sheet. Bake, turning once, until the pears are barely tender, 10-15 minutes.
• 3. Dry roast the pine nuts in a skillet for 5 minutes, until toasty brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• 4. In a large salad bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, mustard, and maple syrup. Add the arugula or salad greens and toss to coat.
• 5. Divide the salad onto four chilled plates. Arrange the roasted pears in a fan around the center, and sprinkle with the cranberries, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. Scatter with petals from the calendula blossoms.

Steps:

• Combine vinegar and honey in a glass jar; whisk to combine. Add lemon juice, oil, thyme, sea salt, and pepper; cover and shake until emulsified.
• Reserve 1/2 of a pear. Slice remaining pears thinly with a sharp knife or mandolin.
• Place arugula in a mixing bowl. Add sliced pears. Pour dressing over top, add 1/2 of the hazelnuts, and season with more salt and pepper. Toss gently until well coated. Taste and adjust seasonings according to taste.
• Slice reserved pear half thinly and arrange it in a fan pattern on the salad platter you are using. Arrange the salad on top. Garnish with remaining hazelnuts and thyme leaves. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a blender, puree all the vinaigrette ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
• Toss the arugula in a large bowl with the vinaigrette until the leaves are well coated. Arrange the persimmon slices on two serving plates, then top them with the dressed greens and serve.

Steps:

• Add the arugula leaves to a medium bowl. Core and slice the pear into 1/8-inch thick slices and add to arugula.
• In another small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, olive oil, and shallot. Season with salt and pepper.
• Toss the arugula and pears with the dressing. Divide the salad between the plates and top with the toasted walnuts. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet; toast, stirring once, until fragrant and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop nuts, and toss with 1 teaspoon hazelnut oil and salt.
