Arugula-Chicory Salad with Pine Nuts and Goat-Cheese Toasts image

The contrast of textures and flavors-crunchy pine nuts, creamy goat cheese, acidic tomatoes, and spicy arugula-adds complexity to this simple salad. It makes a great side dish to steak or chicken or a light lunch for two.

Time 25m

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon red-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 pound arugula, tough stems discarded
1/2 head chicory (white and pale-green parts only), torn into pieces (2 cups)
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
6 ounces soft mild goat cheese
8 (1/3-inch-thick) diagonal baguette slices

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste and add oil in a slow stream, whisking.
  • Toss arugula, chicory, pine nuts, and tomatoes in a large bowl with just enough vinaigrette to coat, then divide among 4 plates.
  • Spread goat cheese on baguette slices and broil on a baking sheet 6 inches from heat until cheese is softened and edges of bread are golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Arrange toasts on salads and drizzle any remaining vinaigrette over cheese.

ARUGULA, CHERRY AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD



Arugula, Cherry and Goat Cheese Salad image

This salad was inspired by a dish billed as Cherries and Goat Cheese on the menu at Westside Tavern in Los Angeles. Even if you're not inclined to add fruits like blueberries and cranberries to salads, this combination could change your mind. Even sweet cherries have a tart edge to them, and the combination of their sweet/tart flavor and juicy but firm texture with the pungent arugula, creamy goat cheese and crunchy nuts works very well.

ARUGULA AND CARROT SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND CHEESE



Arugula and Carrot Salad With Walnuts and Cheese image

The best type of arugula for this salad is the feathery type called wild arugula. I love the contrast of flavors here - peppery arugula alongside sweet carrots and a nutty dressing.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PEACHES, GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL



Arugula Salad With Peaches, Goat Cheese and Basil image

This simple, quintessential summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don't need much fussing (or much cooking at all, in this case). Here, peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy summer peaches, but the recipe can be tweaked to suit all seasons: If you can't find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place.

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 to 5 ounces baby arugula
2 ripe peaches, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch slices (about 10 ounces)
1/2 cup julienned fresh basil leaves
2 ounces creamy goat cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup), plus more to taste

Steps:

  • In a small sauté pan, toast the pine nuts over medium heat, tossing often, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • In a small liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
  • Place the arugula in a large salad bowl. Pour just enough dressing over the greens to moisten, and toss to coat. Add the peaches, basil, goat cheese and toasted pine nuts and toss to coat. Add more goat cheese and dressing if desired. Toss gently and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, young arugula and chicory greens.
  • To remove any bitterness from the greens, soak them in cold water for a few minutes before using.
  • Be sure to dry the greens thoroughly before assembling the salad, or the dressing will be watered down.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing, or the salad will become soggy.
  • If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as walnuts or almonds.
  • For a more tangy salad, use a balsamic vinaigrette instead of the lemon-tahini dressing.
  • Serve the salad immediately, while the greens are still crisp.

Conclusion:

Arugula and chicory salad with pine nuts and goat cheese toasts is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The combination of bitter greens, sweet pine nuts, and creamy goat cheese is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone at the table. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own personal taste by adding or omitting ingredients as desired. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
