Enjoy the Flavors of the Season
I love a big hearty arugula salad and this one is full of color and flavor! I whipped this recipe together for the first time for our neighborhood fall festival this year and it has quickly become a favorite of mine around the house. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Arugula
Cubed Pears or Apples
Pomegranates
Shredded Cheddar or Goat Cheese Crumbles
Candied Walnuts or Pecans
Cubed Cooked Sweet Potatoes
Champagne Vinaigrette Dressing
Fun fact about me — I LOVE arugula! If I see it on a menu, I order it. I pile it on top of my pizza and even ate bowls of it for breakfast when pregnant. It’s a healthy love affair!
Quick Tips:
If making a large bowl for a party, toss only the apples and pomegranates in the champagne vinaigrette dressing before adding to the salad. If eating right away, toss the entire salad in the dressing before enjoying.
You can sub the arugula for other lettuce but why would you because arugula is the BEST!
Apples can we swapped for pears and if you don't feel like the messy act of plucking pomegranate seeds, I suggest swapping for blueberries or dried cranberries.
And candied pecans so have a lot of sugar so if you are looking for something less sweet, you could go with regular pecans or walnuts.
Add grilled chicken or blackened shrimp if you want to add protein.
I love the contrast of food on black dish ware!
