Ingredients
- 5 ounces baby arugula
- 1 apple thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
- 1/4 cup peans chopped
Lemon Dressing
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp honey
- zest from 1 lemon
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, salt and pepper until olive oil is separated and well combined.
- Place arugula in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the dressing on top, gently toss until well coated.
- Top with apple slices, red onion, goat cheese, and pecans. Serve promptly.
Notes
- You can multiply the lemon dressing by 4 (1/2 cup lemon juice and olive oil, 2 teaspoons of honey, zest from 4 lemons, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper) and store in the fridge to use throughout the week! Just give it a good shake before use.
- Only dress your salad just before you're ready to serve. This keeps the arugula and apples crisp and fresh, and prevents them from getting soggy.
