You know I typically don’t love salad, but this salad is special. It calls for Arugula which has a distinct, peppery flavor. And the combination of blueberries, lemon and goat cheese create a tangy accent that makes this salad more than bearable…you’ll definitely head back for seconds!

Ingredients:

4 cups Arugula–(you can also find an Arugula/Spinach mix at Trader Joe’s that is fantastic in this recipe.)

1 cup Blueberries

3/4 cup Goat Cheese

1 TBS lemon zest

4 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 TBS lemon juice

salt and pepper

Directions:

1.) In small bowl combine lemon zest, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and whisk until combined.

2.) Combine greens and goat cheese in a large bowl and pour lemon/oil mixture on top. Toss well with hands.

*I always use my hands to mix salad. It makes it easier to tell when everything is well coated with dressing.
