Citrus Arugula Salad

Salads are the best, BUT you need to keep it interesting. I try new recipes often, and also try to keep a list of “tried and true” with variety (for example, one arugula, one kale, one romaine, etc, etc). This is my current “go to” arugula recipe…..

Ingredients:

DRESSING:

1-3 T Orange Zest (start with @ 1 and add more to taste)

1/2 C Orange Juice

1/4 C Olive Oil

4 T Chopped Red Onion

4 Garlic Cloves

2 T Coconut Aminos

1 t Cumin

1 t Coriander

1 t Chili Flakes

Salt and Pepper to Taste

4 C Arugula

1 Can Chickpeas (optional if you want plant protein)

1 Cucumber

1/2 C Red Cabbage

1/2 Cup Sliced Strawberries

1/2 C Cilantro

1/2 C Pine Nuts

1/2 C Red Onion

For the dressing, throw everything in the vitamix and blend!

For the salad, chop up ingredients and assemble in a big bowl.
