salt and pepper to taste

Ingredients for Salad
2-4 generous handfuls arugula (#134)

Directions:

Make the Vinaigrette: In the bowl of a food processor or a blender, puree strawberries with lemon juice. If you are using sweetener, add with lemon juice. With the food processor running, add the olive oil in a slow steady stream. Taste and adjust with more salt, pepper or lemon juice.

Make the Salad: Toss the arugula in a large bowl with the Strawberry Vinaigrette. Taste and adjust by adding more vinaigrette, salt and/or pepper if needed.

Divide dressed arugula among plates or bowls. Divide berries, walnuts and chicken (and cheese if you’re using) among plates.
