Ingredients
- ½ cup Red Truck Orchards Cherry Vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 4 ounces dried tart cherries
- 5 ounces arugula
- ½ cup chopped toasted almonds (or walnuts)
- 4 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Add the cherry vinegar and ½ cup of water to a small bowl. Microwave the mixture for 1 minute, then add cherries and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. The cherries will plump slightly and soak up some of the vinegar mixture.
Drain the vinegar mixture from the cherries into a small jar with a lid, reserving the cherries. To the jar, add the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of water, the mustard, pepper flakes, garlic, salt, and pepper. Shake well.
Add arugula, almonds, and Gorgonzola to a large bowl. Add half the dressing to the salad, add cherries, and serve.
