THIS IS DELICIOUS! Seriously. Too good and simple to not enjoy on a nice spring day! Strawberries are in season right now in North Carolina. Go to your local farmer’s market stand or farm and pick your own.
🍓 Strawberry Arugula Salad Ingredients:
5 oz arugula
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup feta, crumbled
1 avocado, cubed
1/2 cup pecans, or other nut of choice, chopped
Make your own Dressing:
1-2 Tbsp almond oil, or oil of choice
1/4 tsp black pepper
juice of 1 lemon (optional)
Directions:
- In a large salad bowl, toss arugula, strawberries, cilantro, feta, avocado, and pecans.
- To make your own dressing, in a small mixing bowl, whisk together oil, pepper, and lemon juice. (Balsamic vinaigrette is a terrific addition instead of making your own.)
- Slowly pour dressing over the salad mixture, toss, and enjoy.
