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
  • Choose fresh, crisp arugula: Wilted or bruised arugula will not taste as good in this salad.
  • Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples will give the salad different flavors and textures. For example, Granny Smith apples are tart and crisp, while Honeycrisp apples are sweet and juicy.
  • Make the cider vinaigrette ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can store the vinaigrette in a jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Add some crumbled goat cheese or blue cheese: This will add a creamy, tangy flavor to the salad.
### Conclusion Arugula and apple salad with cider vinaigrette is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
