Simple arugula salad recipe

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: goat cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta

Goat cheese offers a tangy flavor while being lower in fat.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has health benefits and a high smoke point.

toasted nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: croutons

Seeds add crunch and are often cheaper than nuts.

lemon juice

🥗Healthier: lime juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Vinegar provides acidity at a lower cost.

Wash arugula, preferably in a salad spinner and add it to your serving bowl.

Grate the zest and cheese over the arugula.

In a small dish, add equal parts olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add lemon/lime juice, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat.

Add more cheese if desired.
