Ingredients

1/2 loaf ciabatta bread, cut into 1" pieces
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons drained prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey

4 ounces Garrotxa cheese, finely grated on a Microplane
Baby arugula (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F. Toss bread pieces with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet to nicely coat; season with salt and pepper. Spread out in a single layer and bake, tossing halfway through, until bread is golden and crisp on the outside but still chewy inside, 8 –10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whisk horseradish, vinegar, mustard, and honey in a small bowl to combine. Whisking constantly, drizzle in vegetable oil, then remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Toss toasted bread, membrillo, and Garrotxa cheese in a large bowl to combine. Add arugula, drizzle horseradish vinaigrette over, and toss to coat. Taste salad and season with salt and pepper as needed.
