Ingredients
2 tbsp Longo’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 cup peeled, roasted chestnuts, halved
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp Longo’s Pure Liquid Honey
1/4 tsp each salt and pepper
1 tub (142 g) Longo’s Organic Arugula
Longo’s Crumbled Original Soft, Unripened Goat’s Milk Cheese or Crumbled Blue Cheese (optional)
Longo’s Sea Salted Dry Roasted Pistachios, shelled and chopped (optional)
Directions
- •Heat oil in large, nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add pears and chestnuts. Sauté for 10 minutes or until pears are golden.

- •Toss arugula with warm pear mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and pistachios before serving (if using).
A dash of advice
For an elegant presentation, serve salad in a shallow bowl or on a platter. Cut almost all the way through 6 fresh figs, leaving the bottoms intact. Arrange fig ‘flowers’ over the salad before sprinkling with cheese and pistachios.
