Tips:

To enhance the flavor of the salad, choose ripe, sweet pears. Look for pears that are slightly soft when pressed but not mushy.
If you don't have arugula, you can substitute it with baby spinach or mixed greens.
For a tangy dressing, use fresh orange juice and zest. You can also add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as crumbled goat cheese, toasted walnuts, or dried cranberries.
This salad is best served immediately after it is made, as the arugula will wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This arugula, pear, and orange salad is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and it is also low in calories and fat. The combination of sweet pears, tangy oranges, and peppery arugula is sure to please everyone at the table.
