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.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a winner. The dressing is so flavorful and the combination of arugula, apple, and walnuts is perfect.

This salad is so refreshing and flavorful. I love the combination of arugula, apple, and walnuts. The dressing is also perfect - not too heavy, but still flavorful.

I tried this salad and it was just okay. The dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste and the apples were a bit too crunchy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover arugula. I also like to add some chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a few slices of grilled chicken or salmon to make it a more substantial meal.

This salad was absolutely delicious! I made it for a dinner party and it was a huge hit. The arugula and apple pair perfectly together, and the dressing is light and refreshing. I will definitely be making this again!
