Strawberry Arugula Salad

I know, I know. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to take a picture of this dish. I'm not sure if I was distracted by the nice weather, the delicious strawberries, or just plain absent-minded, but you'll have to use your imagination for this one. Or, better yet, make this delightful salad for yourself and submit a picture in the comments below.

The salad was only new dish for this meal. It was served alongside macadamia crusted tliapia, always a favorite in my kitchen, and some cous cous. Perhaps not the flashiest meal I ever made, but quick to prepare, healthy, and completely satisfying. Whip this up when the strawberries look amazing and you are seeking both the health of a homemade meal yet the speed of take out!

Difficulty: easy
Time: 30 min
Cost: $17.45 (as always, this is for the entire meal)



Strawberry Arugula Salad
Ingredients:
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
1.5 tsp honey
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 c strawberries, sliced
1/3 c sliced red onion
arugula
2 oz goat cheese, crumbled

First, mix the dressing together. Combine the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, honey, and black pepper in a small bowl. Whisk until combined. Add the strawberries and red onion to the bowl and let them sit for 15-20 minutes to soak up some of the flavor.

Put the arugula in a salad bowl. Add the crumbled goat cheese. Once the strawberries are done marinating, add the contents of that bowl as well. Toss well to make sure the arugula is evenly coated.
