Arugula Pear Salad with Honey Vinaigrette Dressing

Kelly Jensen
This arugula pear salad recipe is a bright and fresh appetizer or side dish, with arugula greens, sliced pears, walnuts, tossed with a 5-minute honey vinaigrette dressing. It's both simple and elegant, with a nice flavor combination from the peppery arugula and sweet pears and honey.
