Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons minced shallot
7 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 pound fresh chanterelles (preferably small; halved if large)
1 very firm Bartlett pear
6 ounces baby arugula
1 (1/3-pound) piece Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, honey, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon shallot in a small bowl and let stand 10 minutes. Add 6 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chanterelles, stirring, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper, and tablespoon shallot and sauté, stirring, 5 seconds. Remove from heat and keep warm, covered.
  • Halve, core, and very thinly slice pear lengthwise, then divide slices among 8 salad plates. Toss arugula with just enough vinaigrette to lightly coat and mound in centers of plates. Arrange chanterelles around arugula. Shave 6 or 8 curls from cheese with a vegetable peeler onto each salad. Drizzle salads with some of remaining vinaigrette.

I couldn't find chanterelles, so I used shiitake mushrooms instead. It was still very good.

I used a balsamic vinaigrette instead of the cider vinaigrette. It was still very good.

I was surprised by how well the pears worked in this salad. They added a nice sweetness and crunch that balanced out the other ingredients.

This salad was a delightful mix of flavors and textures. The arugula's peppery bite, the chanterelles' earthy umami, the pears' sweet crunch, and the Parmesan's salty tang all came together beautifully. The cider vinaigrette tied everything together
