Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- 2. In a medium bowl, toss the pears, sugar, and butter. Arrange the pears in a single layer in a baking sheet. Bake, turning once, until the pears are barely tender, 10-15 minutes.
- 3. Dry roast the pine nuts in a skillet for 5 minutes, until toasty brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- 4. In a large salad bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the oil, vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, mustard, and maple syrup. Add the arugula or salad greens and toss to coat.
- 5. Divide the salad onto four chilled plates. Arrange the roasted pears in a fan around the center, and sprinkle with the cranberries, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. Scatter with petals from the calendula blossoms.
ARUGULA WITH PARMESAN
Steps:
- If the arugula has roots attached, cut them off. Fill the sink with cold water and toss the arugula for a few minutes to clean. Spin-dry the leaves and place them in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour enough dressing on the arugula to moisten. Toss well and place the salad on individual plates.
- With a very sharp knife or a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan into large shards and arrange them on the arugula.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN
Emulsifying a dressing isn't essential for a sublime salad: Instead, think of the oil and acid as seasonings for a vegetable. For this recipe, that's spicy arugula, dressed with olive oil, lemon and shards of Parmesan to create a salad classic in many Italian restaurants and homes. But whether olive oil or lemon should come first, like all seemingly simple questions, is complicated. James Beard, Marcella Hazan, Deborah Madison and Judy Rodgers all concurred: For a brighter-tasting salad, start with olive oil, which better adheres the liquids to the greens and doesn't obscure the lemon. Be sure to use full-flavored greens, then taste the dressed leaves and adjust seasonings until the arugula tastes like its greatest self.

Steps:
- Place the arugula in a very large bowl, ideally one that could hold twice as many leaves. Drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to toss lightly, then add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly toss the greens until they are evenly glossy; avoid overmixing or crushing the greens.
- Add the Parmesan and toss just to incorporate. Taste. If the salad is too sharp, add another drop of oil and toss. If the salad is dull, add a sprinkle of salt and some lemon juice and toss. Eat right away.
Tips:
- To preserve the freshness of arugula, store it unwashed in a loosely closed plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use a vegetable peeler to quickly and easily remove the skin from pears.
- If you don't have a microplane, you can grate the Parmesan cheese using the smallest holes on a box grater.
- For a sweeter salad, use ripe pears. If you prefer a tarter salad, use underripe pears.
- To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and toss the arugula and pears together. Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the Parmesan cheese just before serving.
Conclusion:
This arugula, pear, and Parmesan salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The peppery arugula, sweet pears, and salty Parmesan cheese are a perfect combination of flavors. The honey Dijon dressing adds a touch of sweetness and tang. This salad is also very easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
