4 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper

PREHEAT oven to 375 ºF.
LINE a large baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or generously coat with cooking spray.
DIVIDE the cheddar into 8 equal piles, spaced evenly on the baking sheet.
BAKE, rotating the pan after 3 minutes, until the cheese melts and starts to turn golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
COMBINE vinegar, shallot, oil, honey, mustard, salt and pepper in a jar and shake to combine.
TOSS arugula and radishes in a large bowl with the dressing. Divide among four plates and top with two cheddar fricos, broken up into smaller pieces if desired.
