So last week I went to dinner and a show at Anthology in Little Italy. I ordered the arugula salad and it was to die for! So I went to Trader Joes the next day and recreated the salad myself…so easy. I never buy arugula because I didn’t think I liked it…love it! Arugula is great because its not only low in calories but it is high in vitamins A and C. So I will post the recipe to my version of the Arugula salad. You should try it. It is great as a meal or with a main dish.
2 cups Arugula (you can add more or less if you like depending on how many your serving. 1/2 cup is only 2 calories. Awesome!)
1 small tangerine (the nice thing about living in San Diego is that you can pick these from your grandma’s tree…Fresh!)
12 roasted almonds (they used smoked almonds which were amazing…couldn't find any at Trader Joe’s so I bought Tamari Roasted Almonds…so good)
8-12 sliced green olives
2 T of grated parmesan cheese
Dressing:
1 T olive oil
1/2 lemon (juice)
pepper and sea salt (dash)
chopped garlic (just a little…goes a long way)
I chopped up a little garlic and added the olive oil and lemon juice to with a dash of pepper an salt. Then added to the top of my salad.
So this was my favorite new salad last week. I probably had it like four times. I guess I’m going to have to go explore new restaurants for new recipes.
