Arugula-ceci Salad PDF Print E-mail
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  • arugula
  • chick peas (canned, for convenience)
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • red balsalmic vinegar
  • salt
  • pepper (fresh ground is best)
  • tandoori masala
Directions:

Combine arugula and chick peas in salad bowl (suggested respective proportion 5:2). Coat w/ oil. Add vinegar/spices and stir. (dressing ingredients in quantities to suit your taste)

I took me year to discover arugula (a gourmet restaurant insalata mista) and I am making up for lost time. Eventually I can imagine adding lighter lettuce to the mix (frisee). I grow my own arugula: last year's planting yielded from May/June into frost!
