This is the perfect light and simple summer salad that can be served as an appetizer, a side dish or a meal in itself. The dressing has both lime juice and honey with makes for a slightly sweet and vibrant citrus taste that pairs nicely with the berries.
The berries, along with the addition of some microgreens, make this a powerhouse of an antioxidant salad. I was able to find broccoli micro greens at a local store. The broccoli greens in particular have more potent micronutrients than mature broccoli which makes it a tremendously healthy addition to any salad.
Ingredients for Salad:
Arugula
Micro greens (can also use watercress)
Cucumber
Avocado
Berries
Goat cheese
Toasted almond slices
Ingredients for dressing:
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
6 mint leaves, chopped
Pepper to taste
Directions:
Assemble the salad ingredients onto a platter. You can lightly toast the almond slices by sautéing them in a dry pan (no oil) on low heat for 5-6 minutes. Watch carefully so they don’t burn.
Whisk all ingredients for dressing in a bowl, pour on top of salad and enjoy!
