Arugula Pear Salad Recipe

Julie Wunder
This simple Arugula and Pear Salad is big on flavors like bright pear, tart pomegranate arils, creamy goat cheese, and sweet spiced pecans.  It's all tossed in a simple three-ingredient vinaigrette that you will love.  It's simple enough for a weekday dinner but fancy enough for the holiday table!
