Categories     Entree     Salad     Side

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup raw pecans
7 ounces arugula ((organic when possible))
2 small apples ((1 tart, 1 sweet // peeled, quartered, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise))
1/4 red onion ((thinly sliced))
2 Tbsp dried cranberries ((optional))

1 pinch each sea salt + black pepper
3 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and arrange pecans on a bare baking sheet.
  • Bake pecans for 8-10 minutes or until fragrant and deep golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • While pecans are toasting, prep remaining salad ingredients and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Prepare dressing in a mixing bowl or mason jar by adding all ingredients and whisking or shaking vigorously to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed.
  • Add pecans to salad and top with dressing. Toss to combine and serve immediately. Serves two as an entrĂ©e and 4 as a side (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering default number of servings).
  • Store leftovers (dressing separate from salad) covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days (though best when fresh). Dressing should keep at room temperature for 2-3 days when well sealed.

Number Of Ingredients 10

One 5 ounce bag of Baby Arugula
1 Honeycrisp Apple (Fuji or Pink Lady would be a good substitute), thinly sliced
1/4 cup Chives, thinly sliced
Handful of Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinaigrette
3/4 cup Apple Cider
1/3 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

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



Simple Arugula and Apple Salad image

Categories     Salad     Sandwich     Apple     Arugula     Simmer     Boil

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 5-ounce bag prewashed baby arugula
1 Fuji apple, cored, quartered, seeded, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup thinly sliced chives
1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Apple Cider Vinaigrette
3/4 cup apple cider
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup olive oil
(makes 1 1/2 cups)

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.

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.
