Quick Arugula Salad

Strawberry Arugula Salad

As with most salads, there’s a lot of room to play with the ingredients. If you have only one of the vinegars, use it alone, or try red wine vinegar. If you don’t have poppy seeds, it’s ok to omit them. You can also use spinach instead of arugula. Make it easy!

Arugula                                                       Goat cheese or feta

Strawberries                                              Toasted pine nuts

Dressing:

2 tablespoon white wine vinegar       1 tablespoon cider vinegar

1 ½ teaspoon minced red onion          1 tablespoon honey or other sweetener

6-8 tablespoons olive oil                       1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

1 teaspoon poppy seeds                         ¼ teaspoon paprika

¼- ½ teaspoon sea salt

Toast nuts and sesame seeds separately in a skillet over medium-low heat until lightly browned. Remove from pan and cool. Be careful on the pine nuts, they go from alabaster to char in a minute!

Combine all of the dressing ingredients except oil in a jar and shake. (Or whisk in a bowl.) Then add oil and shake (whisk) again to emulsify. Toss with arugula; sprinkle on the fruit, cheese and nuts.

Eat!
