    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.

      Arugula is a great type of lettuce to use and you can make it as simple or choked full of other great stuff. I love to add walnuts as well.

      This really sounds like a light type of salad to eat up mid day for a little boost. I will try to make it, never had arugula before!

      What a lovely lemon dressing, I like my Greek salad dressing to be a lemon one so will definitely give this a try

      Pears are a nice addition to any salad! I've been eating them with my greek yogurt for snacks lately.

      This sounds like a great salad for the summer. It seems light and refreshing and not heavy at all.

      It does look like quite a yummy salad here. The pear and the nuts with the arugula look amazing. The lemon dressing sounds good with it as well.

      Pear Arugula Salad with Lemon dressing is something I would love to try. Salads are something my family loves to eat at lunch and dinner so having new recipes is a great thing for us. Thanks for sharing the recipes.

      That pear salad screams "Spring" to me. Very light with the lemon dressing. I would serve it with fish or just eat it alone. Yum!

      I need to make a pear salad. During the summer we try not to heat up the kitchen for dinner. This would definitely be a dinner my family would enjoy. The vinaigrette sounds delicious.

      I need to eat more healthy foods like this. I have yet to try pear salad but I prefer to eat pears straight up :-D.

      Wow, this sounds really great! I love the idea of the sweetness of the pear combined with the little spice of the arugula!
