Layer bottom of plate with marinated pears. Lightly coat arugula leaves with citronette dressing in a mixing bowl and lay on top of pears. Sprinkle the caramelized walnuts around the plate and top with shaved Parmesan.

Citronette Dressing:

In a saute pan over low flame add sugar and water, mix it well and allow to cook until sugar melts and gets golden brown in color. Mix in the butter and let thicken.. Add walnuts, mix until caramelized. Toss well. Make sure there is an even amount of coating, then drizzle the honey evenly over walnuts. Place on sheet pan and let cool.

    Everyone enjoyed this salad, but just to note: a quart of oil is absurd, and once the pear halves are marinated in the lemon juice you really won't need to add more to the salad.

    I made it according to the recipe directions, and then, the second time, I also carmelized some bananas, and used Ken's Healthy Honey Dijon Dressing mixed with EVOO to coat the greens for an entirely new flavor and appearance. Both ways were excellent!
