Steps:
- Make the vinaigrette by whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Place the arugula in a serving bowl. Whisk the vinaigrette again until well combined, then add to the salad, little by little, until the greens are well dressed; you may have a little left over. Right before serving, cut the apple into thin slices and toss into the salad along with the Manchego and almonds. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve immediately.

QUINCE, MANCHEGO AND ARUGULA SALAD
Lovely simple salad with Spanish tones. Great for tapas or as a starter for your next dinner party! Serve with a lovely rose. (Remember Lancer's? Perfect for this!) Taken from tapenawines .com and posted for ZWT. (This recipe calls for 1 oz. of cheese per salad; that seems like alot to me. Please use your own discretion when adding the cheese, so as not to smother the salad! As I said seems like a lot, to me...)

Steps:
- Boil balsamic vinegar in small saucepan over medium-high heat until syrupy and reduced to 1/4 cup, about 4 minutes.
- Whisk oil and Champagne vinegar in bowl. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Keep at room temperature. Rewarm balsamic syrup before using. Rewhisk vinaigrette before using.)
- Toss arugula, apples, half of cheese, dates, walnuts, and shallots in large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season salad with salt and pepper.
- Mound salad in center of each plate. Drizzle balsamic syrup around salads. Sprinkle remaining cheese atop salads.
Tips:
- Use ripe quinces: Look for quinces that are golden yellow in color and have a fragrant aroma. Avoid quinces that are green or have bruises or blemishes.
- Peel and core the quinces before cooking: Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the skin off the quinces, then cut them in half and remove the core. Be careful not to cut yourself.
- Poach the quinces in simple syrup: This will help to tenderize the quinces and bring out their sweetness. To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Use a variety of greens in your salad: Arugula, spinach, and kale are all good choices. You can also add other vegetables, such as shaved fennel or roasted beets.
- Make a simple vinaigrette dressing: Combine olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Top the salad with manchego cheese and chopped nuts: Manchego is a hard Spanish cheese that has a nutty flavor. You can also use other hard cheeses, such as Parmesan or Asiago. Chopped walnuts, almonds, or pecans would all be good additions to the salad.
Conclusion:
This quince, manchego, and arugula salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The quinces are tender and sweet, the manchego cheese is salty and nutty, and the arugula is peppery and fresh. The vinaigrette dressing brings all of the flavors together perfectly. This salad is also very versatile and can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you could add other vegetables, such as roasted beets or shaved fennel. You could also use a different type of cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago. And if you don't have any manchego cheese on hand, you could use another hard cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère.
