Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe avocados. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- If you don't have arugula, you can substitute another type of salad green, such as baby spinach or romaine lettuce.
- To make the bagna cauda dressing, you can use either anchovies or white anchovies. If you use white anchovies, you may want to add a little extra salt to the dressing.
- The bagna cauda dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve the salad, bring the dressing to room temperature before using.
- This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The arugula will start to wilt if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Arugula and avocado salad with bagna cauda dressing is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The arugula and avocado are both packed with nutrients, and the bagna cauda dressing adds a rich and flavorful touch. This salad is sure to please even the most discerning palate.
