Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces arugula greens
  • 8 ounces strawberries (hulled and quartered or chopped)
  • 1 avocado (chopped)
  • 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • ⅓ cup roasted (salted pistachios, chopped)
  • ⅔ cup sliced or slivered almonds
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove (freshly grated)
  • pinch kosher salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sugared Almonds: In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, combine ⅔ cup sliced almonds with 3 tablespoons sugar. Stir frequently until the sugar melts and coats the almonds (about 6-8 minutes). Transfer to parchment paper to cool.
  2. Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, toss 10 ounces of arugula with salt and pepper. Add in 8 ounces of quartered strawberries, 1 chopped avocado, 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese, and ⅓ cup chopped pistachios. Drizzle with your choice of dressing and toss gently.
  3. Make the Dressing: Whisk together 3 tablespoons champagne vinegar, juice of half a lemon, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, freshly grated garlic, salt, pepper, and gradually whisk in ½ cup olive oil until emulsified.
