This summer, serve a salad that’s refreshingly unique, simple and loaded with seasonal flavors! Start by grilling fresh summer plums and savory red onions, then toss with arugula and a quick vinaigrette featuring GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil and sweetened with honey. Top with salty Spanish Manchego cheese and crunchy toasted hazelnuts, then sit back and relax while the compliments roll in.
4
ripe plums (about 1¼ lbs.), pitted and quartered
1
red onion, cut into wedges attached at root end
4 tbsp.
GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
2 tbsp.
GOYA® Red Wine Vinegar
2 tsp.
chopped chipotle peppers, plus 1 tsp. adobo sauce from 1 can (7 oz.) GOYA® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce
1½ tsp.
GOYA® Honey
6 cups
baby arugula
2 oz.
Manchego Cheese, grated (about ½ cup)
¼ cup
toasted hazelnuts, chopped
Step 1
Heat grill to medium heat. In medium bowl, toss together plums, onions, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon Adobo. Add plums and onions to hot grill grates. Grill plums, flipping once, until charred and just tender, about 4 minutes. Grill onions, flipping once, until crisp tender, about 8 minutes. Transfer plums and onions to cutting board until cool enough to handle. Halve plum wedges lengthwise. Trim root ends of onions to separate into strips; set aside.
Step 2
In large bowl, whisk together vinegar, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, honey, remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and remaining ½ teaspoon Adobo. Toss in arugula, plums and onions until coated with dressing. Top with Manchego cheese and hazelnuts.
To make this Arugula Salad with Grilled Plums and Manchego into a main course, simply top with grilled pork tenderloin or shrimp.
