This salad pairs well with grilled meats and game!
1 organic apple (use Granny Smith Apples)
1/2 teaspoon organic lemon juice, freshly squeezed
3 bunches arugula, watercress or chicory
4 1/2 ounces goat cheese
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/3 cup walnut oil
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Coarse salt
Melissa's Spice Grinder (Rainbow Peppercorn)
24 red walnut halves, toasted
Peel and core apples; cut into fine julienne. Toss with lemon juice to keep apples from discoloring. Cover until ready to use.
Wash and dry arugula; set aside.
Combine goat cheese and cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and well combined; remove from heat.
Toss arugula with oil and vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange equal portions of the dressed arugula on each of 6 chilled salad plates.
Randomly place 4 walnut halves and equal portions of the reserved apple julienne over the arugula.
Drizzle the warm goat cheese mixture over the salad in a crisscross pattern.
A long-tined fork or clean squeeze bottle works well to drizzle Goat Cheese Fondue over dressed salad.
