This salad can be your entree by adding the meat or meat substitute of your choice.
This is usually my appetizer. It is very tasty!
Be sure to make plenty, you just might want to have another helping.

Thanks. This looks good. I like all the salads that my husband calls “weeds” as they have more flavor. Love your recipes! You are my hands down very fave low carb blog. Thanks!
I also really love all your recipes with coconut flour and products. I am allergic to both soy and almond, with many low carbers use…but your recipes are great. I have tried many and had perfect results!
Yum, argula! I had a salad with argula, lemon dressing (olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, pepper) and feta cheese yesterday — it was AMAZING. I’ll try your salad with my next CSA, which will hopefully have more yummy argula. 🙂
I love arugula salads. I just made some dried cranberries today. Dinner tonight. I assume the 1 tablespoon of hot water should be the vinegar???
