Arugula & Fennel Salad with Lemon Dressing

While the temperatures are, hopefully, heading more fall-like soon, this heat makes tossing together a salad an attractive choice on these warm evenings. Assembled in a matter of minutes, spicy arugula and crunchy fennel pair up beautifully with a simple lemon and olive oil vinaigrette. This salad can be a quick side or if you top with some toasted nuts and add a piece of crusty bread, it can serve as a main course.

We hope that you enjoy these greens that grace our fields and now your tables as much as we do!

Ingredients
  • 5 packed cups arugula, washed and well dried

  • 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 TBSP lemon juice

  3. Test out dressing using an arugula leaf. Adjust any of the ingredients to taste.
  4. Pour about half the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Add more dressing a little bit at a time until you have dressed the salad to your personal preference.

  6. Serve immediately. Keep any remaining dressing covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
