Arugula-Kumquat Salad with Orange-Currant Vinaigrette
One seasonal gem is kumquats. Like tiny oranges, they’re small oval-shaped citrus fruit with thin, sweet skins and tart flesh. Often candied or used in jams, here they’re thinly sliced, with their skins intact, and tossed with fresh peppery arugula for a fresh side dish. Dressed with an orange juice-currant vinaigrette, all this salad needs is some toasted walnuts to finish it.

For the salad, toss arugula, kumquats, and walnuts with vinaigrette.
Microwave the dried currants and fresh orange juice to quickly hydrate and plump the currants.
