How to Make Berry Arugula Salad
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the arugula, blackberries, blueberries, pomegranate seeds, cucumber, avocado, feta, and chopped pistachios.
Step 2
Top the salad with fresh mint for a cooling, herbaceous finish.
Step 3
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, fresh orange juice, honey, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until emulsified.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add a little more honey for sweetness, more lemon for brightness, or extra pepper for a little bite.
Step 4
Pour the citrus honey vinaigrette over the salad.
Step 5
Toss gently to coat, being careful not to smash the berries or avocado. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Tips for the Best Salad
Use Fresh, Ripe Berries
Sweet blackberries and blueberries balance the peppery arugula beautifully.
Add the Avocado Last
Avocado is delicate, so add it just before serving to keep the slices intact.
Don’t Overdress the Salad
Start with a little vinaigrette, toss gently, and add more as needed.
Serve Right Away
This salad is best enjoyed fresh, while the arugula is crisp and the berries are juicy.
