Goat Cheese Salad With Arugula & Apple
Goat cheese salad with arugula and apple is a refreshing and flavorful dish that combines the creamy tanginess of goat cheese with the peppery bite of arugula and the crisp sweetness of apple.
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.
