Apple Arugula Almond Salad with Orange Dressing is a healthy, spunky fall salad that takes minutes to put together and tastes delicious!
Does everyone agree that it's time for salad? After all that holiday binge eating that I'm sure we all did. I know I did. And I don't regret it for a minute because that turkey, that potato salad and the most amazing green beans and bacon. I can do it all over again. I just need a little break thassall.
Don't be judging me for all that eating because I think it's awesome once in a while. But now it's time to lighten the food down, get on the healthy eating bandwagon again till we can binge eating for Christmas. And I have the perfect accompaniment to this delicious salad - a Creamy Gluten Free Cauliflower Chowder that's just perfect in this cold weather.
This arugula apple salad comes with some crunchy almonds, goat cheese and the most delicious orange dressing which is actually made with orange marmalade. Which works perfectly just in case you don't have real oranges in your kitchen. Like me, who always manages to run out of them at super high speed. The dressing is just four ingredients which is absolutely perfect, and it's really fast to make in your blender. I make this dressing all the time, and it also goes so well with a Greens, Persimmon and Ricotta Salad that's another one of our favourites.
If you don't have goats cheese by some chance, it's fine. Just go with some feta, which is salty too and tastes just as amazing.
