Ingredients

  • ½ cup - pecan pieces
  • 5 ounces - arugula
  • 1 - pear

  • Vinaigrette

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, then toast for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn very quickly. Set aside to cool.
  2. Place the arugula, pears, blue cheese and pecans in a large bowl and toss with enough champagne vinaigrette to coat. Serve immediately and enjoy!
