arugala salad with carrots and parsnips

Directions

Step 1

Ingredients
•1 cup pearl onions (about ¼ pound), preferably red, peeled
•4 carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into ¾-inch chunks
•4 parsnips, halved lengthwise and cut into ¾-inch chunks
•5½ Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
•1½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
•1 tsp. dried thyme
•½ tsp. ground black pepper, divided
•2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
•2 tsp. honey
•1 (5-ounce) bag baby arugula
•2 ripe but firm pears, cored and sliced
•½ cup toasted walnuts
Directions
Active time: 20 minutes
Total time: 1 hour

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large bowl, toss onions, carrots, and parsnips with 1½ Tbsp. oil, 1 tsp. salt, thyme, and ¼ tsp. pepper. Transfer vegetables to a large rimmed baking sheet and roast, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown, about 40 minutes; set aside to let cool until just warm.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, honey, and remaining ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper. While continuing to whisk constantly, drizzle in remaining ¼ cup oil; set dressing aside.

Toss arugula, pears, and roasted vegetables in bowl with reserved dressing. Transfer to plates, garnish with walnuts, and serve.
