Notes
- This salad is best served just after you prepare it, especially if you are using arugula which can wilt quickly. Luckily, it comes together in a matter of minutes so prep is simple!
- Store dressing separately if you want to prep in advance.
- Don't like arugula? Sub another leafy green like baby spinach, baby kale, or spring mix.
