Quince, Manchego and Arugula Salad

Lovely simple salad with Spanish tones. Great for tapas or as a starter for your next dinner party! Serve with a lovely rose. (Remember Lancer's? Perfect for this!) Taken from tapenawines .com and posted for ZWT. (This recipe calls for 1 oz. of cheese per salad; that seems like alot to me. Please use your own discretion when adding the cheese, so as not to smother the salad! As I said seems like a lot, to me...)
