Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · grater · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · spatula · stirring spoon · tongs · whisk or fork
Directions
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat.
- Slice the onion thinly and set aside while the pan heats.
- When the skillet is hot, drizzle in a little oil and cook the onions with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally until they turn soft and golden, about 6–7 minutes; remove from heat.
- Core and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples.
- Coarsely grate the cheddar cheese.
- On each tortilla, layer some onions, apples, and cheese on one half; fold the tortillas over to seal.
- Wipe the skillet, return to medium heat, and add a light coating of oil. Cook the quesadillas until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden, about 2½–3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate.
- Whisk together oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the dressing; add radishes and toss.
- Halve and pit the avocado, scoop out the flesh, then dice and add to the salad with the arugula; toss to combine and season to taste.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with the arugula-aradish salad on the side.
Two tips
- Prep the onion and apple ahead for quicker assembly; store sliced components in the fridge.
- Swap the arugula for spinach or use leftover apple slices to vary the salad
