Arugula Rocket Pear And Blue Cheese Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Combine arugula leaves and bibb lettuce in a salad bowl. Squeeze a little lemon juice over pear slices to keep them from browning. Arrange them on top of lettuces. Top salad with blue cheese crumbles. Combine vinegar and apricot preserves. Stream in oil as you whisk dressing. Pour dressing over salad, season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Toast nuts in small pan over medium heat until fragrant. Cool.
• Combine arugula and pear in a salad bowl, add nuts then dress the salad with lemon juice and olive oil, salt and pepper. Top salad with lots of blue cheese crumbles.

Steps:

• Place the butter, vinegar and sugar in a frying pan over medium heat.
• When butter is melted add the pear and walnuts and cook for 4-6 minutes until the pear is just soft.
• Place the rocket on serving plates and top with the pear and walnuts.
• Spoon over the pan juices and top with the blue cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the nuts on a sheet pan in a single layer. Bake, shaking the pan occasionally, until the nuts are toasted and fragrant, about 7 to 10 minutes. Let the nuts cool, and then coarsely chop.
• Trim the stems of the watercress and arugula. Wash and dry the leaves.
• Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar and mustard together in a large salad bowl. Season with the 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil, starting with a few drops and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
• Halve the endive lengthwise, cut out core, then thinly slice crosswise and add all the lettuces to the bowl. Quarter and core the unpeeled pears and thinly slice; add to the salad. Scatter the cheese and nuts over the salad, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss the salad gently to evenly dress all the greens. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large pan heat oil over medium high heat. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic stirring all the while cooking about 4 minutes the pan will be dry till the mushrooms release some liquid.
• Deglaze the pan with vermouth.
• Add salt, pepper flakes, herbs, nutmeg and arugula.
• Stir to slightly wilt.
• Place into a salad bowl top with diced pears and blue cheese.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Coarsely chop chives and put in a food processor. Add olive oil and purée for 1 minute. Transfer to a squeeze bottle dispenser and set aside.
• Evenly distribute arugula onto 4 medium plates. Top with prosciutto and blue cheese.
• Peel and core pears, then cut in half. Cut each half into thin slices and add to plates in a fan shape.
• Drizzle chive olive oil over each salad and decoratively add some to the sides of the plates. Repeat with balsamic glaze.

Steps:

• Put the pears in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tsp of the oil. Heat a griddle pan, then cook the pears, in batches, for 1 min on each side. Set aside to cool.
• Mix the remaining oil, vinegar and honey. Toss the pears, leaves and cheese, divide between 4 plates and drizzle with the dressing. Serve with bread, if you like.

Steps:

• Dressing:.
• Place the molasses in a small bowl and add enough water to make it a thinner dressing consistency.

• Salad:.
• Lay the rocket leaves on a flat platter, then arrange the remaining ingredients over the top. Spoon the dressing over and serve.

Steps:

• In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved, add the walnuts and cook for 5 minutes or until they have caramelised. Add the sherry vinegar and remove from the heat. Pour onto a tray lined with baking paper and let the walnut sauce cool down.
• Place the pears in a bowl with the rocket and a good amount of olive oil to coat the leaves and pears. Add cracked pepper and mix thoroughly with your hands to combine.
• Onto a serving plate, pile the rocket & pears, top with the crumbled blue cheese. Add the walnuts and drizzle the salad with the sherry syrup. Serve immediately.
