Day 19: 29 Day Salad Challenge San Francisco tribute! For those of you who can’t handle arugula head on, mix together 2 cups of spinach and 2 cups of arugula. Toss in white wine vinegar, olive oil, salt & pepper. I caramelized the pecans and actually added the pears to caramelize a bit too, last minute, so it would be able to stand up to all the bitter/peppery elements happening in this salad. arugula fennel kohlrabi basil  (the above three ingredients should be sliced very thin and be lightly represented - we want them there, but not too much) scallions caramelized pecans bosc pear pecorino romano (if you go with walnuts for this salad, use Parmesan instead of Pecorino)

Ray Kinsella didn’t realize it, but “If you build it, they will come.” was really about salads and not baseball diamonds. This one goes out to San Francisco. Never before have I known a city to love arugula and seasonal produce so much. Coming up soon, today’s salad//yourdailybanana
