Arugula & Pear Salad with Pomegranate Vinaigrette

Recipe by Cook's Hideout

The dressing is a killer in this Salad and I might make more next time and just drink it. Pomegranate molasses in the dressing gives it a nice fragrance and sweetness and also takes the edge off the tart vinegar. The shallots slightly pickle in the vinaigrette and taste amazing on the salad. This is one perfect Fall salad which I plan to make often this season.

Ingredients

• 2 cups arugula (Baby , lightly packeds)
• 2 cups Romaine lettuce (, torn into bite size pieces)
• 1 Pear Juice or Cider (- medium, cored and chopped into cubes)
• supermarket roast chicken, approximately 200g once shredded
• 3 tbsps Goat Feta Cheese (or - , crumbled)

1. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, combine shallot, pomegranate molasses, vinegar, salt and pepper and whisk until the salt is dissolved.
2. Whisk in the olive oil and let it sit at room temperature until salad is ready.
3. Make the Salad: Combine the arugula, romaine, pear and half of the pomegranate seeds in a large bowl.
