Simple Arugula Salad

It’s starting to warm up here in Dallas, so I am thinking about salads.  Starting with this Simple Arugula Salad.

Marcus is OBSESSED with arugula. He ate this entire salad in one sitting.  It’s that GOOD. I promise you will love it too.

This salad is filled with healthy ingredients and it has a lemon dressing that brightens it up even more.  I also LOVE to add avocado to all my salads.  Makes them extra delicious + you get the healthy fats to keep you full longer.

This healthy salad is vegan and gluten free.  It can be paleo friendly if you omit the corn. We shot a video for this recipe as well.  You can view it below.  For more videos, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
