This appealing microgreen salad is sure to make your tastebuds dance! Everything comes perfectly together, adding a rich array of flavours with each bite. This salad is so great to make because it has simple ingredients, the veggies are available in stores year-round, and the microgreens can easily be purchased from our website and delivered straight to your door.
This salad can be made ahead of time. This does well sitting in a refrigerator for about 3 hours ahead of time. Since everything is so fresh it is hard to leave any longer. If left too much longer some of the ingredients can start to become soggy, and no one wants that. One of the great things about this salad is not only the taste, but also the variety in texture.
Varieties when making arugula salad:
- Cheese: feta cheese crumbles or shaved parmesan instead of, or in addition to the goat cheese.
- Nuts: pine nuts, walnuts or almonds
- Vegetables: carrots, broccoli, or cauliflower
Our Microgreens:
Our Microgreens are Beyond Organic which means: No chemicals, no natural or synthetic substances, no pesticides, no fertilizers, nothing, nada, zip. There is nothing added to our microgreens before, during or after the growing process. No need to wash or ‘triple-wash’ our microgreens, as they have been grown in a clean, contaminant-free environment without the use of any harmful chemicals. No need to wash away valuable nutrients and taste. Microgreens are 40-60% more nutrient-dense (with phytochemicals, beneficial nutrients and components) than their full-grown counterparts or mature store-bought greens.
