Arugula, Chickpea, & Pear Salad

Recipes

Jump to Recipe

When my family gathered to celebrate for my grandma’s 85th birthday, we met for brunch at Grain House – the restaurant that’s part of the Olde Mill Inn in Basking Ridge.  The brunch buffet was phenomenal – I ate breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert all in one sitting.  

One of my favorite items on the menu was an interesting salad that I (of course) decided to recreate.  Arugula and chick peas were a deliciously healthy combination, and the pears and craisins add a little bit of sweetness.  The dressing was very light, so I used my basic recipe for red wine vinaigrette. I also added some goat cheese because I think everything is better with cheese. 🙂
