Apple Salad with Arugula, Goat Cheese and Candied Pecans | Chris Bianco
Chris Bianco, one of the stars of the Netflix hit show "Chef's Table: Pizza" and the first pizzaiolo to win a James Beard Award, is credited with introducing America to artisanal-style pizza. He also makes a darn good salad! This one combines a lemony dressing with arugula, apples, goat cheese and pecans and the balance of textures and flavors is perfect. (Sub in other lettuces, as you like.) It's also hearty enough to eat on its own for lunch.
Try pairing it with his Rosa Pizza.
