Ingredients

2 large handfuls Arugula, rinsed and well dried, roughly chopped or torn

2 tbsp Hazelnut oil

2 tbsp Champagne Vinegar

1 tsp Dijon Mustard

1/4 cup dried cherries

1-2 tbsp sugar

1 smoked duck breast, cold, thinly sliced

1/4 cup hazelnuts, roasted and roughly chopped

2 ounces very sharp, good aged cheddar

sea salt

Directions

Rinse the arugula and dry well, roughly chop or tear. 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 (you can remove the duck fat beforehand and save for another purpose). With a vegetable peeler, peel thin slices of the cheddar 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 sea salt.
