Ingredients

4 servings
  • 5 ounces arugula or baby arugula
  • 1 crisp apple, (such as Fuji or Honeycrisp)
  • 3½ ounces Manchego, (thinly sliced)
  • ½ cup sliced almonds, (lightly toasted if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots, (from 1 shallot)
  • Heaping ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps

  1. Make the vinaigrette by whisking all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.

  2. 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.
