Spicy Arugula and Citrus Salad

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of fresh arugula or arugula microgreens

• 1 cup of mixed citrus segments (think oranges, grapefruits, and mandarins)

• 1/2 cup of thinly sliced red onion

• 1/3 cup of crumbled feta cheese

• 1/4 cup of toasted walnuts

• 3 tablespoons of olive oil

• 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice

• Salt and pepper to taste

  
  

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the Citrus

First, peel the citrus fruits. Then, cut them into segments. This step adds a burst of flavor and color to your salad.

Step 2: Slice the Onion

Next, take your red onion and slice it thinly. This will add a nice crunch and a bit of sharpness to your dish.

Step 3: Toast the Walnuts

In a dry skillet, toast the walnuts over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes. Stir them frequently to avoid burning. The toasting enhances their nutty flavor.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the arugula, citrus segments, red onion, feta cheese, and walnuts. Gently toss them together.

Step 5: Dress the Salad

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

Your Arugula Citrus Salad is ready to serve! Enjoy it immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
