Arugula and Pear Salad with Toasted Walnuts Recipe
I love the tangy savory flavor of arugula, the sweetness of pear, and crunchiness of walnuts. The vinegar dressing gives you a kick when you bite in to it. In fact, you can substitute any kind of nuts you like.
Speaking of salad, some of you may think salad is boring. For me, you can play so much with it. You can add anything you like...anything...It can be an appetizer or main course as you wish. The bonus point is the low carbs. Well, just watch out how much dressing you put on. The dressing could have more calories than the salad itself!
