It’s easy to make your own balsamic glaze, pumping up the flavor of dressings and sauces without adding fat to the dish.

Ingredients

Makes 2 Servings


  • 6 tbsp (90 mL) balsamic vinegar
  • 2 pears (Asian pears work best), chopped
  • 4 c (80 g) arugula
  • 2 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) walnuts, chopped
  • 2 tbsp (20 g) dried cranberries
  • Coarse sea salt

Directions

  1. Over medium heat, simmer the balsamic vinegar until it reduces by half, creating a glaze. Immediately spoon the glaze over the pears and toss them.



  2. Toss the arugula, radishes, dried cranberries, and walnuts together and then top with the balsamic pears and a very small sprinkle of coarse sea salt.

     

    Note: Asian pears work best in this recipe.
