Fruity Spinach & Arugula Salad

[heart_this] · Aug 11, 2015 · 9 Comments

Fruity-Spinach-&-Arugula-Salad2

Sweet, tart and crisp are words I would use to describe this salad. Sweet juicy nectarines and tart cherries, what a combination for this Fruity Spinach & Arugula salad. This salad was created out of a need to use some ripe cherries and nectarines before they were past their prime.

This might possibly be one of the quickest salads I’ve made, ever!

I tossed together a bag of spinach and arugula, sliced the nectarines, pitted and sliced some cherries and added in some fennel because it needed to use it as well.

The earthly flavor of the veggies together with the sweet, tart flavor of the fruit work so well together to make this one of my favorite summer salads. The flavors will simply explode in your mouth.

The dressing is just as simple and easy as the salad, blended cherries, lemon, vinegar, oil and a dash of salt.

A simple, beautiful, good for you salad!

    We love arugula, but sometimes find it too strong as the only leafy green in our salads. Pairing it with spinach is a great way to cut the nutty flavor. Adding some sweet fruity is the perfect final touch.

      I feel the same way, alone it can be a bit too much, but paired with another milder green and with sweet or creamy dressing cuts the bite.
      Thanks Felicia for visiting.

    Believe it or not, we actually have a nectarine tree in our yard! We planted it several years ago when we moved in, and this was supposed to be the first year it would produce fruit. Something happened with the extra cold winter this year, though, so no fruit…but the tree is huge! Whenever it finally starts producing fruit, I suspect I’ll be eating a ton of salads like this. Love the flavor combination!

      Oh what I would give to have any kind of fruit tree in my yard. When I was growing up in Georgia, we had apples, peaches, plums, grapes,and pecans growing in our yard, but I took it for granted. I miss having fruit available to enjoy.
