It’s time for another great salad: baby greens, orange sections, fresh strawberries and blueberries topped with nuts. I’ve made a few arugula salads since fall and this salad was originally made with baby arugula. It works well with arugula (below) or a mix of baby greens with a simple lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil dressing.
I’m a salad lover any time of year. Cooler weather I crave more spicy salads with arugula. On its own or mixed in with other greens, arugula makes a great salad with its peppery notes. If you’re not a fan of arugula, try an organic baby salad mix containing arugula. The peppery notes are toned down by the medley of flavors. I went to Aldi to get a box of organic baby arugula but ended up buying baby arugula and spinach. I love baby spinach and had to try the combination. That’s my crispy base for the today’s salad. You can use organic baby arugula or a baby leaf mix including arugula.
