1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat our broiler for the toasting the bread.

Next, arrange bread in a single layer on a cookie sheet and broil for about three minutes. Turn the bread over and lightly butter each slice. Put back under the broiler for about 2 mins or until toasted.


2. Take about two cups of fresh organic arugula and add chopped shallot and put in a medium sized bowl. Drizzle in extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. Toss well to coat and combine all ingredients.


Core and thinly slice organic pear. Also thinly slice blue cheese.

Divide arugula mixture evenly over the bottom slices. Top with proscuitto, pear slices and blue cheese. Top with the other multi-grain bread slice, buttered side down.
