I had so many big plans for Oscars themed appetizers, and then my day got busy and I found myself with two hours of time to go, in which I also needed to shower and vacuum. Sundays!
Roaming the grocery store desperate for a little inspiration, I thought about caving with every turn and just buying something pre-made, some jarred salsa, anything. All of them with a big question mark as to are these really gluten free, wheat free, organic? When you lose your prep time and you get desperate, these things can happen!
I am so glad I stuck to my guns, and instead of having a million things to serve and hoping I would be fine, I picked one easy, delicious, healthy and beautiful appetizer. It was easy to throw together, four simple ingredients, and let us all snack all night and still feel great.

When these ingredients are fresh, they are the perfect mix of peppery, savory, salty and sweet. While this dish can be assembled a few hours in advance, make sure you cover completely and refrigerate, so that the arugula leaves do not wilt.
| Ingredients: Fresh ripe pears Proscuitto Arugula Good quality local honey Fresh lemon jucie | This recipe is very "use your best judgement" based, but here is what I did: I placed a full handful of arugula into a bowl, and tossed it with a half a lemon's worth of lemon juice. Cut two pears into 24 pieces (6 slices per half, this was the perfect bite size!). Assemble four to five arugula leaves on top of each pear slice, and wrap with a half of a slice of prosciutto, lengthwise. Once arranged on your platter, and just before serving, drizzle with honey. |
