Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper or more, to taste
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon grainy Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups loosely packed arugula
3/4 cup coarsely grated aged Gouda, Manchego, Asiago, or Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/3 cup dried cherries

Steps:

  • To make the praline, lightly oil a large baking sheet. Toss the pecans with the salt and cayenne in a small bowl. Place the sugar in a heavy skillet or saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar starts to melt. Stop stirring and continue cooking, swirling the skillet or pan often, until the sugar cooks to a dark golden caramel. Add the pecan mixture and carefully stir to coat the nuts with caramel. Pour onto the baking sheet and spread evenly with a knife. Cool completely. Crack the praline into pieces, then finely chop on a cutting board.
  • To prepare the dressing, whisk the mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil to form a smooth dressing.
  • Arrange the arugula in the center of a large serving bowl. Sprinkle on the cheese, cherries, and praline. Toss with just enough of the dressing to thoroughly coat the leaves.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The arugula is peppery, the goat cheese is creamy, and the praline is sweet. The dressing is also very tasty.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less praline next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover arugula. It's also a great make-ahead salad, as the flavors meld together nicely.

I didn't have any aged gouda, so I used a regular hard cheese. It still turned out great!

This arugula salad was a delightful surprise! The combination of flavors and textures was spot on, with the arugula providing a peppery base for the creamy goat cheese, sweet praline, and tangy mustard dressing.
