Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 6 cups arugula
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
For the Dressing:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- ¼ tsp each salt and pepper
Instructions
- Combine salad ingredients in large bowl.
- Prepare dressing by combining all ingredients in a jar with a lid; shake vigorously to combine.
- Toss salad with desired amount of dressing (I only used half) and serve immediately.
Notes
- The dressing makes more than you'll probably need. I only used about half of the dressing for this salad, but you can also use it on other salads throughout the week.
- I recommend putting the dressing on the salad just before serving to prevent the salad from going soggy. It can sit on the salad for a few hours, but it tastes best when fresh.
- I recommend preparing the dressing in a major jar with a lid. It makes it super easy to shake it all up just before using. You can even make a double batch of the dressing to keep for all of your favourite salads throughout the week!
- If you want to add some extra protein to this salad, try adding some grilled chicken breast or salmon.
- The nutritional information is based on using all of the dressing. If you choose to use less dressing, the nutrient values will vary.
