Springtime Arugula Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette – Vegan & Healthy

This light and ultra fresh Arugula Salad is your new go-to recipe for spring. The ingredients in this healthy salad include white beans, shallots, avocado, almonds, vegan chick’n, and the most delicious lemon vinaigrette.

Healthy Arugula Salad for Spring

I LOVE how easy and flavorful this salad is. Healthy salads are stereotypically boring and bland, but this delicious combo of ingredients are both filling, satisfying, and is rich in nutrients. Ingredients include:

• Arugula
• Vegan Chick’n
• Shallots
• Avocado
• Slivered Almonds
• White Beans
• Basil Sprouts
• Lemon Vinaigrette (extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, dijon mustard, salt & pepper, garlic, and maple syrup)

Colorful & Diverse

This salad can either be served as a main course or a spunky appetizer. If you’re hosting or planning a dinner party, bring this salad (with the dressing served on the side.) It’s a total crowd pleaser! I recommend making a large batch and serving it as an appetizer with a main course of a light spring or summer pasta dish.

What sets this arugula salad apart is the bright and zippy lemon vinaigrette. The ingredients are minimal but powerful and really elevates the dish. I love making a large bath of this dressing and using it throughout the week. The dressing is diverse and pairs well with all types of salads.
