Cheddar-apple-arugula salad
From Lori, Yorkville CSA
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- 6 cups arugula or arugula mixed with other salad greens
- 2 apples peeled (or not) and cut into slices or chunks
- 4 oz cheddar cheese in ½-inch cubes
For the dressing
- 1 TBS honey
- 2 TBS sesame oil toasted oil if you can get it
- 1 TBS Dijon mustard
- 1 TBS red wine vinegar
Instructions
- Spread or spray the oil on a frying pan. Heat gently, then add the pecans and toss quickly until they are toasted. Remove them from the flame as soon as they begin to darken—it takes just a few seconds for them to burn. Allow to cool.
- While the pecans cool, whisk all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
- Divide the salad greens into two bowls. Add the sliced apples, cheddar, and ½ the pecans to each. Drizzle dressing over the salad. Toss lightly.
