Method

Tapas

  1. 1

    Prepare greens and produce

    Rinse the arugula and spin-dry or pat dry. Place in a large salad bowl.

  2. 2

    Toast nuts

    Halve the cherry tomatoes. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the Marcona almonds until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Cheese and olives prep

    Shave Manchego cheese into thin ribbons. Pit the olives if needed and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, sherry vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper until emulsified.

  5. 5

    Combine everything

    Add tomatoes and olives to the arugula. Drizzle with the dressing and toss gently to coat.

  6. 6

    Finish and serve

    Top with Manchego shavings and toasted almonds. Serve immediately as a tapas-style starter.
