This pear arugula salad is so delicious and healthy, I prepared it in just a few minutes too. I served it with my favorite homemade lemon dressing. The combination of fresh flavors has that perfect amount of sweet and tanginess, without going overboard.
I think this salad has summertime picnic written all over it, and also goes well with meats, such as a steak. When I eat steak I love to feel guilt free about it, so having a nice salad like this one helps in that department. Hope you'll enjoy this Pear Arugula Salad with Homemade Lemon Dressing recipe.
