Ingredients
- 1/3 cup chopped hazelnuts
- 3 Tbs. white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp. pure maple syrup or brown sugar
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 5-oz. bag arugula (9 cups) or baby spinach
- 1 1/2 cups halved red grapes (9 oz.)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta
Preparation
1. Toast hazelnuts in small skillet over medium-low heat 2 to 4 minutes, or until fragrant and golden, shaking pan often to prevent burning. Transfer to plate to cool.
2. Whisk together vinegar and maple syrup in large serving bowl; drizzle in oil while whisking, and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Add arugula, grapes, feta, and toasted hazelnuts, and toss to coat.
