Earthbound Farms Arugula Salad With Roasted Pears Recipe

This irresistible autumn salad combines sweet roasted pears with peppery arugula and creamy blue cheese. A simple maple-mustard vinaigrette ties it all together. We've tweaked a classic, reducing the arugula for a lighter, more balanced flavor profile and adding tender loose leaf lettuce for extra texture! Perfect for a fall dinner party or a cozy weeknight meal.
