5-Minute TikTok Salad: Pears, Pomegranate Seeds, Walnuts, Feta & Arugula with Balsamic/Olive Oil Dressing

Moving along with the times, we've gone from Julia Child & Alice Waters to recipes on TikTok. Here, Julia Saltzman shares a video for this delicious salad recipe perfect for any holiday table. It takes about five minutes to prepare as she instructs us to forget measuring - just toss a few of the ingredients with your hands in a mixing bowl, put that on a platter over the sliced pears, and add the toppings. Then, no matter what the source, enjoy and "Bon Appétit!"

My Paleo Marin Rating: 5 Persimmons*

Ingredients:

Pears, about 6 (I used mostly Bartlett)

Arugula (about 6 cups)

Maldon Flaky Sea Salt

Olive Oil

Balsamic Vinegar

Feta Cheese (French sheep feta in brine if possible)

Walnuts (or pecans or nut of choice)

Pomegranate Seeds

Directions:

1. Slice the pears on a mandolin (carefully!). Arrange on a serving platter.

2. Place the amount of arugula you would like for your salad in a large mixing bowl. Add some Maldon flaky sea salt, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Toss with your hands to mix well. Place the greens on top of the pears. 

3. Sprinkle the top of the arugula with crumbled feta cheese, walnuts and pomegranate seeds.

Serves about 8 side salads, or 4 main course salads.
