Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, lemon juice and vinegar. Slowly whisk in oil. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. Alternately, put all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a jar and shake until combined.

Add the arugula into the bowl with the dressing and toss until coated. Sprinkle all the other salad ingredients over the arugula and then gently toss. Serve immediately.

Tip: If you want to cut your apples a little ahead of time, save the juiced lemon halves from the dressing and place in a large bowl of cold water. Add the apples to the water as you cut them. The lemon-water will keep the apples
