Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 avocado - peeled, pitted and diced

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup olive oil

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh arugula. If you can't find arugula, you can substitute baby spinach or watercress.
  • To make the garlic balsamic vinaigrette, use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap balsamic vinegar will not have the same flavor.
  • If you don't have any shallots, you can use a small onion instead.
  • If you don't have any Parmesan cheese, you can substitute another hard cheese, such as Asiago or Romano.
  • To save time, you can buy pre-cooked bacon. However, if you want the best flavor, cook the bacon yourself.
  • If you don't have any walnuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans or almonds.
  • To make the salad more substantial, you can add some grilled chicken or shrimp.

Conclusion:

Arugula salad with garlic balsamic vinaigrette is a delicious and healthy salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
