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:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of greens: Arugula, spinach, kale, and romaine are all great options.
  • Make sure the dressing is well-balanced: It should be flavorful, but not too overpowering.
  • Layer the ingredients in the jar in the order they're listed in the recipe: This will help to keep the salad fresh and prevent the dressing from making the greens soggy.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Turkey and apple arugula salad in a jar is a delicious, healthy, and portable meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's also a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of planning, you can have a delicious and nutritious salad that you can enjoy anytime, anywhere.
