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

SIMPLE ARUGULA AND APPLE SALAD
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.
