Ingredients
Salad
- 3 ounces arugula
- 1 large handful nasturtium flowers and leaves, leaves roughly chopped if desired
- 1 cup strawberries, cored and sliced
- 1/8 cup sesame seeds
Vinaigrette
- 1/8 cup olive oil
- 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Salad Ingredients: In a large bowl, toss together the arugula, nasturtium flowers and leaves, sliced strawberries, and sesame seeds until well mixed.
- Prepare the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey or agave syrup, and salt until the dressing is smooth and emulsified.
- Dress and Serve: Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss to coat all ingredients evenly. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and crisp textures.
Notes
- Use fresh nasturtium flowers and leaves for the best flavor and presentation.
- Honey can be substituted with agave syrup for a vegan option.
- Toast sesame seeds lightly for added depth of flavor if desired.
- Serve immediately as the dressing will wilt the delicate leaves if left to sit.
