Description

Though inspired by golden cherries from the farmers' market, this pretty salad can be made with any sort of fresh or frozen cherry. Marcona almonds hail from Spain; their toasty, slightly sweet and salty flavor is a great match for the fruit. Toasted whole almonds and a few extra pinches of sea salt can be substituted.

Ingredients

1/2 pound fresh cherries, pitted, or 2 cups frozen pitted cherries, thawed and drained
1/2 pound baby or wild arugula
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano or Grana Padano cheese, thinly shaved (3/4 cup)
1/2 cup Marcona almonds, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons very good extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Flaky coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Cut the cherries in half lengthwise and place in a large serving bowl. Add the arugula, cheese and almonds. Drizzle with the oil and vinegar, crush a few generous pinches of salt over the top and season generously with pepper. Toss to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
