Description

Other top-quality blue cheeses-like Maytag, Danish or Roquefort-are fine replacements for the Stilton. And if arugula is unavailable, choose another slightly bitter salad green, such as curly endive, chicory or baby salad greens; spinach mixed with some watercress would also work quite well.

Ingredients

3/4 cup vegetable oil
6 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced shallots
8 cups lightly packed arugula (about 8 ounces), stems trimmed
6 small Bosc or Comice pears, halved, cored, thinly sliced
8 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Whisk oil, vinegar and shallot in medium bowl to blend. Season dressing with salt and pepper. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
  2. Combine arugula, pears and cheese in bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat.
