Categories     Entree     Salad     Side

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup raw pecans
7 ounces arugula ((organic when possible))
2 small apples ((1 tart, 1 sweet // peeled, quartered, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise))
1/4 red onion ((thinly sliced))
2 Tbsp dried cranberries ((optional))
1 large lemon, juiced ((1 lemon yields ~3 Tbsp or 45 ml))
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 pinch each sea salt + black pepper
3 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and arrange pecans on a bare baking sheet.
  • Bake pecans for 8-10 minutes or until fragrant and deep golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • While pecans are toasting, prep remaining salad ingredients and add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Prepare dressing in a mixing bowl or mason jar by adding all ingredients and whisking or shaking vigorously to combine. Taste and adjust flavor as needed.
  • Add pecans to salad and top with dressing. Toss to combine and serve immediately. Serves two as an entrée and 4 as a side (as original recipe is written // adjust if altering default number of servings).
  • Store leftovers (dressing separate from salad) covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days (though best when fresh). Dressing should keep at room temperature for 2-3 days when well sealed.

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.
