Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Arugula: Rinse the arugula thoroughly under cold water. Dry it using a salad spinner or pat it gently with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
- Parsley and Chives: Wash the parsley and chives thoroughly. Chop them finely and set aside.
- In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, chopped parsley, and chopped chives. Toss them together until they are well mixed.
- In a small bowl or a jar with a lid, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon honey. Mix or shake well until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is emulsified.
- Drizzle the spice mix over the greens, distributing it evenly. Gently toss the salad to ensure the spice mix is well incorporated with the greens.
- Pour the prepared lemon and honey dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat the greens and herbs evenly with the dressing.
- Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing and herby side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- For the freshest flavor, use herbs that are as fresh as possible. Consider growing your own herb garden at home.
- If arugula is too peppery for your taste, you can substitute it with mixed greens or baby spinach.
- Make sure to finely chop the chives and parsley to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the salad.
- Taste the dressing before adding it to the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary; sometimes a little extra lemon juice or honey can balance the flavors perfectly.
- Gently toss the salad to ensure the dressing coats all the ingredients without bruising the herbs.
- Add some slices of avocado or a handful of nuts for an extra touch of richness and texture.
