I love Arugula!


I really do not know what to call this salad because i just invented it.  it's pretty simple to make but it tastes so good.  i did not miss the cheese shavings nor the nuts i usually put in my salads to make them more tasty.

here's how i made it:

  1. wash 3 oz. of baby romaine lettuce and about 1 oz arugula in running water.  pat dry with paper towels.
  2. in a big bowl, put in 1 tsp of red raspberry preserves [i used the smucker's brand], 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil, and the juice of 1/4 of a lemon.  blend well.
  3. drop in the lettuce and arugula and with clean hands, coat the leaves with the dressing.
  4. serve with slices of mango or any fruit of your choice.
you can pair this salad with chicken[in this case, rotisserie chicken], fish or any meat dish of your choice to make a light meal.

serves: 1
