Grab this summer salad recipe down below.
Arugula is one of my favorite salad greens and with its peppery sweetness, it is hard to beat. For this salad recipe, I tossed the greens with homemade mayo, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Truffle oil and it was simply delicious! But that was just the beginning, next I added fresh Granny Smith apples, sweet mango, and slices of cherry tomatoes. I am over here making myself hungry! Excuse me while I drool.
This makes for a great light lunch salad or a delicious salad course served before or with dinner.
Did you know that fresh arugula is packed with nutrients and a couple of servings are less than 10 calories?
Our Honey Avocado + Thyme salad dressing is kinda righteous!
Did you know it really doesn’t take much to make a great salad? No, really! It is one of the reasons l keep my salad game sharp because when you hungry and kick-starting the stove takes too long salads are an ideal meal to put together. All you really need is salad greens and a few additional ingredients and BAM! You’re in like Flynn! Don’t ask me who Flynn is because I just so happen to not know. But salads I do know, and this one here is not only lit but it is muy good for you too. That’s a double bonus, innit?

You had me at Mango, but I’m going to have to skip the apple since I’m allergic to raw apples. Maybe I can substitute it for something else, and still have it taste great.
