Posted by The Jew & The Carrot blogger, Alix Wall, this salad highlights the freshest tastes of winter
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)
Wash and dry the arugula. Put it into a salad bowl.
Heat olive oil in a skillet, and add leeks and a pinch of salt. Saute for a few minutes, and add the apple slices.
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.
While still hot, pour the apple mixture over the arugula. Add the nuts, and cheese if desired.
Finish off with a touch of walnut oil, and salt and pepper. A salty or pungent cheese can be added if desired.
