My current favorite salad is really simple and fast to make but still has all the flavor you are looking for and waist friendly. It actually isn't an Italian salad you can find at an Italian restaurant here in Italy, but it does use all the food staples you would find in an Italian kitchen. It also follows the simplicity of Italian dishes where you can take in the full flavor of the few ingredients used. If you want to make this into an entree, just add some grilled chicken breast to it.
Insalata di Rucola
(Arugula Salad)
1 bag of pre-washed arugula
2 tablespoons of yellow raisins
1 tablespoon of crushed almonds
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt
Cracked black pepper
Add all the ingredients together and toss to mix. Drizzle oil, sprinkle salt and add black pepper to your liking.
And that is it! Really simple and quick yet healthy and delicious. The sweetness of the raisins combined with the kick of the arugula and crunch of the almonds is the perfect mixture in your mouth.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! =)
