Ingredients

2 red pears
8 slices prosciutto
½ cup baby arugula
¼ cup pomegranate arils
½ teaspoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Wash and dry pears, then slice them into 1/2-inch wedges (about 8 slices per pear). Cut away any pieces of the core from the slices.
Toss the arugula and pomegranate with olive oil and pepper in a small dish.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half long ways and lay them flat on a cutting board or plate.
Lay a pear slice and a small bunch of the arugula mixture on top of one slice of prosciutto.
Carefully wrap the prosciutto around the pear salad, just tightly enough to prevent the salad from falling out. Repeat for each bundle, then arrange them on a small serving platter.
Sprinkle with extra black pepper and pomegranate arils if desired.

Notes

Wait until just before assembly to toss the arugula with oil. Another option is to prepare the salad without any oil, and serve it as-is, or drizzle a little oil over the platter just before serving.
The slight sweetness of red pears tastes great with the salty prosciutto, but any variety of pear will work.
