Salads are one of my favorite things to make. I enjoy finding different combinations of flavors and textures that complement each other. They are also healthy, colorful, and delicious. Feel free to experiment with your own variations; salads are infinitely versatile. For me, a successful salad tickles many taste buds. It needs to have a perfect balance of sweet, salty, sour, and a touch of spicy. This salad is perfect, with the citrus-y dressing coating the sweet nectarine and dates, as well as the spicy arugula leaves. READ MORE
