Pear and Arugula Salad

One of the women in the office brought this in on Friday, and it was pretty fantastic.

INGREDIENTS
1 pack arugula (preferably small leaves)
2 average-sized pears
Parmesan cheese, preferably ungrated (picorino, blue cheese or feta can be substitutes -- bulgarian or israeli feta is best)
3 to 4 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 to 2/3-cup walnuts
Tangerines or clementines (optional)
Salt and black pepper

Dump the arugula into a bowl. Thinly slice pears lengthwise (take the seeds out first). Grate or crumble the cheese (I think shaved would be good, too, if you used parm). Break nuts into small pieces. Break tangerine slices in half or so. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper to taste.
