Arugula Salad with Bacon, Apple and Cheddar and Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

It's all about this vinaigrette for me. I use it on almost all my salads right now. The salad recipe comes from Maddie Vock (munchinwithmaddie)'s Instagram account. She also has a marinade for grilled chicken to serve with the salad. I'm happy with the salad as-is. 

Arugula Salad with Bacon, Apple and Cheddar

4-5 cups arugula
1 apple, chopped
1 cup old cheddar cheese, grated or cubed
6oz cooked bacon, crumbled (bake at 400F for 20ish minutes)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or toasted pumpkin seeds 

Maple Dijon Vinaigrette

2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp dijon mustard
salt + pepper
