Steps:
- Bring the apple cider to a boil in a small pot on medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the cider simmer until the liquid reduces by half. It won't take too long. Allow to apple cider cool.
- Place the reduced cider, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and Kosher salt in a small mixing bowl and whisk vigorously. While continuing to whisk, slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
- When ready to serve: Dress your salad before plating. Combine the arugula, apple, chives, and tomatoes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle in the vinaigrette, gently tossing the salad to thoroughly incorporate the dressing.
- *I always start with a smaller amount of the dressing, incorporate it, and then taste, adding in more if necessary. You can always add more vinaigrette, but can't undo an overdressed salad.

SIMPLE ARUGULA AND APPLE SALAD
Steps:
- Combine the arugula, apple, and chives in a large mixing bowl. Dress with the vinaigrette, making sure to lightly toss the greens but thoroughly incorporate the dressing.
- Apple Cider Vinaigrette
- Bring the apple cider to a boil in a small pot over mediumhigh heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 12 minutes.
- Pour the cider into a small mixing bowl. Add the vinegar, mustard, and salt and whisk vigorously. While continuing to whisk, slowly drizzle the olive oil into the bowl until completely incorporated.
- QUICK TIP
- The Dijon mustard does more than add a vibrant note to the vinaigrette. It provides a stable base that helps the oil and vinegar emulsify, creating that smooth, creamy texture that you want in a vinaigrette. A well-emulsified vinaigrette also evenly coats the lettuce leaves for a balanced salad. Try adding a teaspoon to your basic vinegar-and-olive-oil dressing for a smoother result.
ENDIVE, ORANGE AND ROQUEFORT SALAD
Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the orange zest, orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/3 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
- Cut the heads of endive in half lengthwise, remove the triangle of core at the base of each half so the leaves separate, and cut the leaves in half again lengthwise. Place in a large bowl. Drizzle the leaves with the vinaigrette and add the walnuts, Roquefort, and apple. Add the arugula and toss. Zest the orange into the salad with a strip zester. Peel the orange and remove the white pith around the orange with a small sharp knife. Cut the orange sections between the membranes and toss them on the salad. Discard the membranes. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

Tips for Creating a Delicious Arugula, Apple, and Roquefort Salad
- Select Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: Use fresh, crisp arugula, crisp and sweet apples, and a creamy, flavorful Roquefort cheese. Fresh ingredients will significantly enhance the overall taste and texture of your salad.
- Use a Sharp Dressing: A vinaigrette dressing with a citrusy or acidic component, such as lemon juice or white wine vinegar, will help balance the richness of the cheese and apples. Experiment with different ratios of oil to vinegar to find your preferred balance of flavors.
- Slice Apples Thinly: Thinly slicing the apples will allow them to absorb the flavors of the dressing and other ingredients more easily.
- Use Good Quality Nuts: If using walnuts or pecans, toast them lightly in a pan to enhance their flavor and texture.
- Add a Touch of Sweetness: Honey or maple syrup can add a subtle sweetness to complement the bitterness of the arugula and the sharpness of the cheese.
