Posted by The Jew & The Carrot blogger, Alix Wall, this salad highlights the freshest tastes of winter

ingredients

  • 1 bunch arugula
  • olive oil
  • 1 leek, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
  • 1 apple, cored and sliced
  • balsamic or cider vinegar
  • walnut oil
  • handful of walnuts, toasted
  • Your favorite salty cheese (optional)

directions

  • 1

    Wash and dry the arugula. Put it into a salad bowl.

  • 2

    Heat olive oil in a skillet, and add leeks and a pinch of salt. Saute for a few minutes, and add the apple slices.

  • 3

    Saute a minute more, and then add enough vinegar just to cover the apples. Lower the heat, allowing the apples to absorb the vinegar, and for the rest to reduce a bit.

  • 4

    While still hot, pour the apple mixture over the arugula. Add the nuts, and cheese if desired.

  • 5

    Finish off with a touch of walnut oil, and salt and pepper. A salty or pungent cheese can be added if desired.
