Serious Salads: Arugula, Apples And Manchego In Cider Vinaigrette Recipe

• 5 ounces arugula or baby arugula
• 1 crisp apple, such as Fuji
• 3 1/2 ounces manchego, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted if desired
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 6 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
• 2 teaspoons (real) maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots, from one shallot
• Heaping 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Make the vinaigrette by whisking all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside.
2. Place arugula in serving bowl. Whisk the vinaigrette again until well combined, then and to the salad, little by little, until greens are well dressed. You may have a little left over. Right before serving, cut apple into thin slices and toss into salad along with Manchego and almonds. Taste and adjust seasoning, then serve immediately.
