pear, blue cheese, walnuts, arugula salad with a maple vinaigrette.

Great winter salad - use portions based upon what you have available!

Salad ingredients:

I used 1 package of arugula (what you normally find at whole foods in the big plastic container)

1 - 2 pears (all types are good)

1 small package of blue cheese crumbles

1/4 of a bag of walnuts

What you will need for the vinaigrette:

• 60ml olive oil (4 Tbs)
• 30 ml red wine vinegar (2 Tbs)
• 20ml maple syrup (1 Tbs and 1 tsp)
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• salt

Place all of the above ingredients in a small jar and shake, then drizzle over the salad.
