Arugula Fruit Salad
This is my attempt at copying my wife’s favorite salad, which happens to be from Blaze Pizza!
The balsamic glaze is super versatile so throw it into a small jar and save it for other things as well! I like to keep honey to a minimum in order to bring carbs down, but you could also reduce the balsamic on its own, it will just take longer. Once it cools it will thicken up a bit, so don’t reduce it too much!
INGREDIENTS:
1 bag arugula
1 cup strawberries, sliced
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
balsamic glaze
For the balsamic glaze:
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup honey
INSTRUCTIONS:
To make the balsamic glaze, heat up balsamic vinegar and honey in a small pot over med-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat so it comes to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently until balsamic starts to coat the back of a spoon, about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool.
For the salad, to preserve freshness and avoid sogginess hold off on the balsamic glaze until you’re ready to serve.
You can also add a protein source such as chicken, tofu, chickpeas or whatever else your little heart desires!
