Pear and Goat Cheese Salad with Balsamic Reduction

I came across a recipe on CookingLight.com for a grilled peach salad that is to die for! The spicy nuances of the arugula pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the balsamic dressing.

I can't claim this recipe as my own, except that I changed the peaches to pears and added pine nuts. Here's the link for the original. I could eat the balsamic reduction dressing by the spoonful!

SERVES: 6

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 pears, cored and sliced thinly
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

  • 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts

Instructions:

  1. Bring the vinegar to a slow boil over medium-high heat.

  4. In a saute pan over medium heat, fry the prosciutto until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  5. Toss the arugula with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  7. Serve immediately.
