Don’t Call This Dish A Salad
Even if you love salad, sometimes it just doesn’t sound that appealing. But calling it something else can change your mental image and give this everyday dish a whole new spin. That’s one of the reasons we love this dish: Green Apple Carpaccio with Goat Cheese and Arugula. Doesn’t it sound fabulous? The good news is, the dish delivers on its fancy name: With peppery arugula and red onion, tart apple and crunchy hazelnuts, drizzled with a tangy vinaigrette, it’s so much more than your run-of-the-mill salad.
Green Apple Carpaccio with Goat Cheese and Arugula
SERVES
4PREP TIME
10 minCOOK TIME
05 minIngredients
¼ cup/60 mL organic extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons raw apple cider vinegar
Fine sea salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 small tart green apples, such as Granny Smith or Pippin
3 cups/40 g loosely packed arugula leaves
½ cup/60 g crumbled goat cheese (optional)
¼ cup/30 g thinly sliced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped hazelnuts, toasted
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil and vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Cut the apples crosswise (through the core) into thin slices, discarding the seeds—each slice should be one round cross-section of the apple. Arrange the apple slices on plates or a platter and drizzle with about half of the dressing.
Add the arugula to the bowl with remaining dressing and toss. Arrange the arugula on top of the apples, top with goat cheese (if using), red onion, and hazelnuts, and serve.
