Salad with bacon, pear, and arugula
Description
For the salad, use pears with firm flesh, as they hold their shape well when fried. You can use any type of bacon: boiled-smoked, dry-cured, or air-dried. Arugula can be used either on its own or mixed with other salad greens.

Lightly drizzle the salad with oil and vinegar, then generously sprinkle with grated Parmesan. I don't add salt, as the Parmesan and bacon are salty enough.
