Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces arugula greens
  • 8 ounces strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1 avocado, chopped
  • ⅔ cup sliced or slivered almonds
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese or dairy-free alternative
  • ⅓ cup roasted salted pistachios, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons sparkling grape juice vinegar
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, freshly grated
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread sliced almonds on a baking sheet and sprinkle sugar over them. Toast for about 5–7 minutes until golden brown; watch closely to prevent burning.
  2. In a large bowl, combine arugula, strawberries, avocado, goat cheese, and pistachios.
  3. For the vinaigrette: whisk together sparkling grape juice vinegar, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard, grated garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking until emulsified.
  4. Toss the salad with the vinaigrette just before serving. Top with caramelized almonds for an added crunch.
