Arugula Salad with Lemon & Olive Oil – Vegetarian Recipes for Mindful Cooking

1K SharesIt’s hard to find a salad green that’s lighter and easier to digest than arugula.The robust peppery flavor profile of the green leaf brings lightness, dryness, clarity, and warming qualities to the dinner table.This is the reason arugula salad is a wonderful complement for heavier foods, such as meats, whole grains, sandwiches, eggs, or root vegetables.I absolutely love this recipe for arugula salad made with 5 ingredients or less.First, the minced shallots add sweetness to the dish, along with a whole lot of pizzaz.A generous sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper and flaked finishing salt adds even more warming heat to the arugula leaves.The final ingredients—high quality olive oil and fresh lemon juice—deliver both a healthy fat, and support for digesting the fat, in a one-two punch.If you like arugula at all, then you have to try this ultra-simple recipe (just 5 ingredients, not including salt) with your next lunch or dinner. You will thank me later.Arugula health benef...
