INGREDIENTS


2 tbsp Longo’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 large red-skinned pears, quartered, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise

1 cup peeled, roasted chestnuts, halved

3 tbsp white wine vinegar

1 tbsp Longo’s Pure Liquid Honey

1/4 tsp each salt and pepper

Directions

DIRECTIONS

Heat oil in large, nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add pears and chestnuts. Sauté for 10 minutes or until pears are golden.



Remove from heat; stir in vinegar, honey, salt and pepper until skillet mixture is well glazed. Cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.



Toss arugula with warm pear mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and pistachios before serving (if using).


A Dash of Advice

For an elegant presentation, serve salad in a shallow bowl or on a platter. Cut almost all the way through 6 fresh figs, leaving the bottoms intact. Arrange fig ‘flowers’ over the salad before sprinkling with cheese and pistachios.
