Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a large bowl, gently combine the baby arugula leaves, alfalfa sprouts, cubed cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar until emulsified. (2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

Pour the balsamic vinaigrette over the salad. Gently toss to ensure all ingredients are lightly coated. (3 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss again briefly to incorporate the seasoning. (1 minute)

For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or shaved Parmesan cheese.
If you prefer a sweeter dressing, a touch of honey or maple syrup can be added to the vinaigrette.
The salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent the arugula from wilting.
Feel free to experiment with other types of sprouts, such as radish or broccoli sprouts, to add different textures and flavors.
