In a pan sprayed with oil, or a little bit of coconut oil:
- 1 shallot, chopped in tiny pieces
- 2 pears, cubed
Cook until the shallots and pears have softened.
Take a bag of arugula salad (16oz) and put in a large pan and allow it to warm up a little bit (and wilt)- do NOT over cook it.. this should take 1-2 minutes. Just want to wilt it- not cook it completely.
Remove all the stuff from the pan and put in a large bowl.
In a small bowl- mix 3 tbsp water with 1 tbsp maple syrup. Mix well.
Pour the water/ syrup on the salad mixture and mix well. Top the salad with 12 oz of fresh blueberries and slivered almonds. If you're the cheese-eating type, you can add a sprinkling of goat cheese crumbles.
Kale is also a nice substitute for arugula-- and of course, in the winter is widely available for cheap!
