This is one of those so-simple salads that are perfect to make and serve with your dinner. I like to make this salad in the summer when we’re grilling steak or chicken, and then have this salad served alongside for a very light meal. Look for some lovely, fresh arugula at your local farmer’s market, and you might just be surprised how much more delicious it is than buying a bag of arugula at the market. Fresh from the farm makes a big difference!
Ingredients needed:
arugula roasted red pepper canned navy or cannellini beans red onion white balsamic vinegar honey salt and pepper
How to make Arugula, White Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Salad:
The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post. This salad recipe couldn’t be any easier to make! Just add the four salad ingredients to your salad bowl: arugula, white beans, roasted red peppers and red onion.
Whisk the salad dressing ingredients together, and then drizzle the dressing over the salad.
Toss the salad to coat it with the dressing. That’s it! And there you have a beautiful arugula, white bean and roasted red pepper salad. Enjoy!
Ingredient Notes and Substitution Suggestions:
Another green (like red or green leaf lettuce) may be substituted for the arugula. Arugula has a lovely, slightly peppery taste, but you can certainly grab another kind of lettuce, if desired. Fresh, sliced red bell pepper may be substituted for roasted red bell peppers. Garbanzo beans may be substituted for the white beans. It’s okay to leave out the onion, if you prefer. Look for white balsamic vinegar near the regular balsamic at your market. Regular balsamic vinegar may be used, but note that it will give your salad a brown tinge to it.
