Stacked pear salad
- Bosc pear(s)
- Baby arugula
- Sloppily chopped pecans (lots)
- Craisins (lots and lots)
- Liberal application of feta cheese
- Mild vinaigrette (4 squirts lemon juice, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 tsp basil, salt & pepper)
Slice off bottom of Bosc pear. Chop into thirds. Sandwich pinches of salad between pear bits. Arrange more salad artfully around pear. Optional: drizzle entire creation with honey. Serve with great pomp and not a little snootiness.
Pro-tip: do not buy enormous Bosc pears as I did. Your guests will feel compelled to eat the entire pear. Do not allow your elegant dinner to become "Bruce Bogtrotter: Pear Edition."
I found the original recipe at Once Upon a Plate.
