This is the perfect summer salad! It’s light, crisp, and refreshing on a hot, sticky day when you’re just not in the mood to cook. All you need is baby arugula, an Asian pear, pine nuts, and grated parmesan cheese. The champagne vinaigrette (my favorite dressing) is easy to make and really elevates this dish to another level of tasty. Grab some olive oil, champagne vinegar, dijon mustard, a shallot, some salt & pepper, and you’re all set. Enjoy!
