Some people love salads for the flavor or the health benefits. We agree on both counts, and there's an extra element to love about this salad in particular: the crunch. There's lettuce, of course, but also toasted walnuts and the crowning achievement of satisfying chomps, “everything bagel” croutons that you make yourself. We contrast the crunch with a little Fuji apple and onion, both made soft and delicious on the grill.

1 Prepare the Ingredients
Cut baguette into 1" cubes. Halve apple, core, and cut into 1/4" slices. Peel onion and slice into 1/4" rounds. Halve grape tomatoes. Coarsely chop capers. Combine 2 Tbsp. olive oil, Champagne vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside to let flavors marry.
-
2 Toast the Walnuts
Place walnuts on prepared baking sheet. Spread into a single layer and toast until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Remove walnuts to a plate and reserve baking sheet with foil.
-
3 Make the Croutons
Add baguette cubes, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, and seasoning to reserved baking sheet. Toss to coat evenly, and spread into a single layer. Bake until golden brown, 7-9 minutes. While croutons bake, preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
-
4 Grill Apples and Onions
Add apple slices to hot grill or grill pan cut side down and cook undisturbed until lightly charred, 3-5 minutes per side. Transfer apples to bowl with vinaigrette. Toss onions with 1 tsp. olive oil in a small mixing bowl. Place onions on grill and cook undisturbed until lightly charred and tender, 4-6 minutes per side. While onions cook, make salad.

5 Make the Salad
Add grilled onions, arugula, grape tomatoes, and capers to bowl with vinaigrette and apples. Toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
