Course Salad

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  

• 1 recipe Balsamic Dressing
• 1 crisp apple
• 1 shallot
• 5 oz (8 cups) baby arugula (not standard arugula)
• 1/4 cup pecans (roughly chopped)
• 2 oz soft goat cheese (crumbled)
• sea salt

Instructions

 

• In a medium bowl, make the dressing.
• Thinly slice the apple and shallot.
• Place the greens on a plate. Top with the sliced shallot, apple, pecans, and crumbles of soft goat cheese. Drizzle with dressing and top with a sprinkle of sea salt.

Notes

Standard arugula has much too spicy of a flavor; look for the small baby arugula leaves like you see in the photo. It comes packaged in the produce section near the greens, or may be available at your local farmer’s market.
