Valentine’s Day is such a cool holiday because it’s all about love. There are hardly any traditions or running around, it’s only about spreading the love! I created a three course Valentine’s Menu and will post one course each day over this weekend. This entire meal would be great to enjoy by yourself (which I did while making it all!) with your friends, family, or of course with your Valentine. Here’s Course 1: Arugula Salad. The combination of salty pistachios, sweet apples and peppery arugula is just divine. If you’re a cheese eater, you could shave on some parmesan as well and go for salt-less pistachios. The measurements below are for one person, so you can adjust your “handfuls” according to the amount you’re serving.
1 handful of arugula
1 handful of roasted salted pistachios
1/2 green onion, sliced
1/4 apple, cut in matchsticks
1 wedge lemon
1 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fill your bowl with the (washed & dried) arugula. Crack & lightly chop the pistachios. Add the pistachios, onion & apples to the arugula. Squirt on the fresh lemon juice, and drizzle on the olive oil. Toss lightly & enjoy.
