Ingredients
- 2 bunches arugula, washed and dried, stems trimmed (Look for 5 or 6 ounce sacks of washed and trimmed arugula leaves, available in some markets)
- 1 head bibb lettuce, torn
- 1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 8 ounces Maytag or other blue cheese, crumbled
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup apricot all fruit spread, found near jams and jellies (preferred brand Polaner)
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, eyeball the amount
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
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.

There are so many great elements to this salad. Peppery arugula, salty blue cheese, sweet and tangy dressing. Very yummy and a big hit with my kids too!

Not a big fan of arugula, but tried it with mixed greens and added candied walnuts, all the guests at the dinner party raved about it. This will definitely be one of my go to salads.
