Quince, Manchego and Arugula Salad image

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...)

I'm not a big fan of arugula, but I really enjoyed this salad. The quince paste and Manchego cheese were a great combination.

This salad was a nice change of pace from my usual salad routine. The quince paste added a nice sweetness and the Manchego cheese was a nice salty addition.

I had a hard time finding quince paste, but I was able to find it at a specialty grocery store. The salad was worth the effort, though. It was very delicious and unique.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less quince paste. Otherwise, it was a good salad.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used a store-bought quince paste and it worked out great. The Manchego cheese and arugula were also great additions.
