Ingredients

  • 18 red pearl onions (peeled)
  • 2 large carrots (halved lengthwise, cut into 1/3-inch-wide pieces)
  • 2 large parsnips (halved lengthwise, cut into 1/2-inch-wide pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • One 5-ounce bag baby arugula
  • 1 ripe pear (halved, cored, cut into thin wedges)
  • Apple Cider Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (toasted)
  • For The Apple Cider Vinaigrette:

  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

    I just made this for my luncheon. Easy to make ahead and it presents beautifully. I made some minor changes as I wanted to use up my butternut squash. I had pecan halves and used those in place of walnuts. I added roasted boneless chicken thighs that were brushed with a Dijon-Honey-Lemon glaze that I sliced diagonally and placed atop the salad and the chicken thighs were topped with a poached egg for a 'Chicken and Egg' playfulness. it helped make the lunch a little more hearty for the robust eaters in our group. I love the versatility of this recipe, and I plan to make this several times over the next few months, switching out various root vegetables and squashes, and using Spinach or Kale in place of Arugula, apples for the pears….possibilities are endless!! Is there a way to save recipes to our profiles? Thank you!
