This simple appetizer is a study in balance: the smoky meatiness of the duck, the tartness of the cherries, the sharpness of the cheese, and the peppery arugula.

Ingredients
- 4 large handfuls Arugula, rinsed and well dried, roughly chopped or torn
- 4 tbsp Hazelnut oil
- 4 tbsp Champagne Vinegar
- 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 cup dried cherries
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 smoked duck breast, cold, thinly sliced (Smoked duck breast is available at most gourmet food markets, like Whole Foods, or online)
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts, roasted and finely chopped (I like to make a "dust" with mine)
- 1 cup very sharp, good aged cheddar (I used something called Robusto, a hard aged gouda, which I also bought from Whole Foods)
- Kosher Salt
Directions
- Place the dried arugula in a bowl and set aside.
- Place the hazelnut oil, vinegar, mustard, sugar, and cherries in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir with a whisk until warm (not boiling - 3 minutes or so). Pour over the arugula, sprinkle with a little salt, and toss to coat.
- Place the arugula on a plate and top with the duck slices. With a vegetable peeler, peel thin slices of the cheddar or gouda over the salad.
- Top with the chopped hazelnuts and a little extra dressing, adding any cherries to the plate that did not cling to the greens. Sprinkle everything with a little kosher salt.
