Ingredients

  • Salad:
  • 5 ounces Arugula spring salad mix
  • 1 medium pear sliced
  • 3 ounces Parmesan cheese shaved
  • cup red onion sliced
  • ¼ cup almonds sliced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • Dressing:
  • ¼ cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Add the arugula spring mix lettuce to a large bowl and top with the remainder of the salad ingredients.
  • Prepare the dressing by putting all the ingredients into a small bowl and whisking until fully mixed. You can also put the ingredients into a mason jar, seal and shake well. Drizzle a spoonful of vinaigrette for each serving. 

Notes

Serve immediately for best results.
To store leftovers, place in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and can be kept in the fridge for 3-5 days. 
If you want more dressing you can double the recipe. I only use a spoonful for each serving.
