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.

Ingredients

Salad

  • 6 cups arugula lettuce

  • 1 cup cooked Gefen Orzo

  • 1 white nectarine, cubed

  • 6 pitted dates, sliced

  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup unsalted roasted almonds, roughly chopped

Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons grapefruit juice

  • 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • juice of 1/2 lime (or about 1 tablespoon Heaven & Earth Lime Juice)

Directions

1.
