Warm Arugula Salad with Roasted Grapes and Goat Cheese is a sophisticated yet simple salad that combines peppery arugula, sweet roasted grapes, tangy goat cheese, and crunchy walnuts with a warm balsamic vinaigrette.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting)
  • 1/4 cup goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for dressing)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss grapes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Roast for 15 minutes or until they start to burst and caramelize slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.
  4. In a small pan, whisk together balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and honey. Warm over low heat just until combined.
  5. Place arugula in a large bowl. Add warm roasted grapes, toasted walnuts, and crumbled goat cheese.
  6. Drizzle the warm vinaigrette over the salad. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use baby arugula for a more tender texture.
  • Can substitute feta or blue cheese for goat cheese if preferred.
  • Roasted grapes can be made ahead and reheated slightly before serving.
