3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 fennel bulb, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 8-ounce container small mozzarella balls, drained, halved
1 15-ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
4 cups arugula

  • Combine fennel, tomatoes, mozzarella, chickpeas, red onion, and arugula in large bowl. Add dressing; toss to coat and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender arugula: Look for leaves that are bright green and perky, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Properly wash and dry the arugula: Rinse the arugula thoroughly under cold water, then gently pat it dry with a salad spinner or paper towels. This will help remove any dirt or grit and prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the salad: Arugula is a delicate green, so it's important not to overdress it. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.
  • Add some crunch: To add some extra texture and flavor to the salad, try adding some chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
  • Serve immediately: Arugula salad is best enjoyed fresh, so it's best to serve it immediately after making it.

Conclusion:
