Cilantro Arugula Salad
This zesty salad is bursting with fresh, bright and colors and flavor. Perfect as a starter, or as a main dish paired with your favorite protein.
Ingredients
- 2 large handfuls arugula
- 1 small bunch cilantro chopped
- ½ cup carrot, shredded
- 2 mini cucumbers, sliced
- 2 Tbsp pickled red onion, chopped
- 2` tsp flax seeds
- ¼ cup feta, crumbled
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1½ Tbsp agave syrup
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, agave, olive oil, and salt until they emulsify and become a creamy vinaigrette.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the arugula, cilantro, cucumber and carrot, seeds and vinaigrette (saving a pinch of the seeds and a small handful of cucumber slices for garnish at the end) and toss well.
- Add the pickled onions and feta (saving a few of both ingredients for garnish at the end), and toss to combine.
- Put the mixed salad into a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining feta, cucumber slices, and pickled cucumber so that the colors are well-represented on the top of the salad. Sprinkle the remaining flax seeds over the entire top of the salad and serve.
