How to Make 360 Rocket Salad Arugula

  1. **Make the Apple Cider Vinaigrette:** In a jar or bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon Calvados (optional) to the vinaigrette. If using a jar, seal and shake vigorously. If using a bowl, whisk well to emulsify.
  3. **Toast the Walnuts:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1/2 cup walnut halves on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  4. **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces arugula, 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese (or cheese of your choice), and 1 medium apple, thinly sliced.
  5. Pour the apple cider vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra walnuts if desired.
