Step 1

Make the dressing by whisking all red wine vinaigrette ingredients together. Alternatively, you can place all of the dressing ingredients in a mason jar and vigorously shake.

Step 2

To assemble the Arugula Pear Salad, arrange the arugula in a large shallow bowl. Top with pomegranate seeds and crumbled gorgonzola cheese.

Step 3

Remove the core from the pear and slice the pear into thin slices. Arrange the slices over the top of the salad.

Step 4

Dress the salad by tossing it with the red wine vinaigrette all at once, or leave the dressing on the side and let each person dress it to their liking. The dressing makes a generous amount, so you may not want to use all of it on the salad depending on how heavily you like it dressed.
