Arugula Apple Salad
This is one of my go-to’s! It is so easy to make so it's perfect for weekdays. It is also so flavorful and delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 apples granny smith, I like them tart
- 5 oz arugula 1 container
- ¼ cup aged white cheddar freshly grated, and more shaved for topping the salad
- ¾ cup almonds sliced
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½ lemon
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp mayo
- ⅓ cup olive oil plus 2 tbsp
- Pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Slice your apples VERY thin and soak in salted ice water (this prevents browning). 1/2 tsp per cup of water for 5-10 minutes.
- Mix together the grated cheddar, honey, vinegar, lemon, 1/3 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, dijon and mayo.
- Fry the almonds in the 2 tbsp olive oil until nicely golden.
- Add the arugula in a mixing bowl with the apples and the dressing. Massage the dressing in gently. You might have some dressing leftover.
- Top it with the almonds, shaved cheddar and fresh cracked pepper.
