Strawberry Arugula Salad

Name: Strawberry Arugula Salad
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Ingredients: 4 cups arugula; ½ fennel bulb, thinly sliced; 1 orange, peeled and segmented; ½ cup strawberries, sliced; ½ cup blueberries; ½ cup raspberries; ½ Meyer lemon, seeded and sliced; ¼ cup sliced almonds; Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette; 2 tablespoon cashews (soaked for 1 to 4 hours); 2 tablespoon Meyer lemon (juiced); 1.5 teaspoon honey; ¼ teaspoon sea salt; dash ground black pepper; 2 tablespoon olive oil; 1.5 teaspoon poppy seeds

3 steps

Notes Store dressing in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Swap in whatever berries you have on hand. Hemp hearts or sunflower seeds can be swapped in for almonds in the salad and for the cashews in the dressing. Meyer lemons are less tart and much sweeter (and larger) than regular lemons. You can swap in regular lemons if you can't find Meyer lemons, yet it will change the flavor of the salad and vinaigrette.
