Grilled Pear Salad with Sweet and Tangy Raspberry Vinaigrette

Share This Recipe

The peppery bite of arugula is perfectly offset by the sweetness of grilled pears. It is balanced with a homemade tangy raspberry vinaigrette. Add crumbled goat cheese and pecans that have been toasted with cinnamon and nutmeg, and this salad becomes a show-stopper. Serve on a special occasion as an elegant starter salad or as a side dish paired with grilled pork or lamb. A crisp white wine would truly make this a meal perfect for entertaining!

Mealthy Tip

Arugula belongs to the mustard family, which is why the older leaves tend to have a peppery, slightly nutty flavor. At any stage, it is packed with vitamins and minerals. For another fun taste combination, try grilled peaches instead of pears.

Katie Hason says:

Very yummy salad! The grilled pears alone were absolutely delicious. I bet it also tastes amazing with grilled peaches. Perfect summer salad, really enjoyable.

Greg Jones says:

The raspberry vinaigrette was probably my favorite part of this recipe. I served it with pork loin and my family loved it. The grilled peaches were also really good, it's something we make every summer.
