Ingredients
- 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted (see instructions in the recipe notes)
- 1-2 apples, depending on size
- 2 cups thinly sliced celery (include those inner leaves)
- 1/4 cup thin red onion slices
- 4 cups (or 4 handfuls) arugula
dressing
- 4 Tbsp walnut oil (you can substitute olive oil)
- 4 Tbsp cider vinegar Note: I like my dressings on the tart side. Just reduce the vinegar if you don't.
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- Pinch salt
Instructions
- To assemble the salad, put your arugula in the bottom of a wide shallow salad bowl.
- Top with the sliced apples, celery, red onions, and walnuts.
- Put the dressing ingredients in a small jar with a lid, and shake vigorously to emulsify it into a creamy consistency. Taste to adjust to your liking.
- Lightly drizzle the dressing over the salad (you may not need all of it) and toss well.

Notes
- To toast nuts:
- *Recipe adapted from Midwest Living
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Spread nuts out in a single layer on a dry baking sheet.
- Roast for 12-15 minutes, giving the nuts a stir once or twice to encourage even toasting.
- Let cool before using.
