Pom Pom Arugula Salad
Pom Pom Arugula Salad served on top of toasted wheat pita with cream cheese & smoked salmon.
Looking for a quick, healthy and delicious lunch? One of my favorite salads to whip up is this pomegranate arugula salad. I had a similar salad at the All Good Pizza food truck in San Francisco but decided to balance out the tartness with some pomegranate. A little sweetness from the pomegranate and acid from the lime pairs perfectly with the spiciness from the arugula. The shaved parmesan on top adds a bit more substance to this light salad. It’s great as a starter for a pasta dinner date in with your boo thing or on top of a toasted wheat pita for a quick lunch. Add a bit more or a bit less of anything and everything. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe.
