Paul’s table

Pear Insalata

Pear insalata with greens, cheese and sliced pear

One of Paul’s favorites.

This salad brings together sweet pears, peppery arugula, creamy gorgonzola and toasted walnuts. Paul’s Pear Balsamic ties the whole plate together.

Ingredients

  • 2 pears, cored and thinly sliced
  • 10 cups baby arugula
  • 2 ounces prosciutto, diced
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled gorgonzola
  • 2 tablespoons toasted walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon Paul’s Rockin’ EVOO
  • ¼ cup Paul’s Pear Balsamic
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Cook the prosciutto in a sauté pan over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Toss the arugula with Rockin’ EVOO, a small pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Add the pears, crisp prosciutto, gorgonzola and walnuts.
  4. Finish with Paul’s Pear Balsamic and serve immediately.

Pour it with Roero Arneis DOCG.

The wine’s pear and white-peach notes mirror the fruit while its clean acidity keeps the gorgonzola and prosciutto feeling fresh.
