Pork and Asian Pear Salad
- Share via
Asian pears look like yellow-green or russet-colored apples. They have the same firm juiciness as apples, but their texture reminds me more of jicama.
I like their crunch and their light, sweet flavor. Both qualities work well in this salad. I prefer the yellow-green variety for it.
Slice the pears just before tossing the salad so they don’t oxidize and discolor.
Combine sesame oil, ginger, rice vinegar, lime juice, sugar, garlic and salt in small bowl.
Toss together pork and pears in bowl. Add dressing and lightly toss until ingredients are coated.
Gently stir in cilantro and pomegranate seeds. Line platter with arugula leaves and spoon salad onto leaves.
