Italian Herb Spring Salad

Oh Yum!  I couldn't help but share this delicious salad.  It's really easy to throw together - you just can'g go wrong with basil, tomatoes, and goats cheese.

Italian Herb Spring Salad Recipe
(serves 2)

2 cups arugula
1/2 cup of basil, torn
1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped
1/4 cup micro greens
1 Tablespoon of fresh oregano, chopped
1/4 of red onion, sliced
3/4 cup of cherry tomatoes, cut in halves or quarters
1/4 cup chèvre (goats cheese), broken into pieces

Throw all the ingredients in a bowl and dress with the dressing below.  Note: there will be leftover dressing.

Dressing
2 Tablespoons of balsamic vinegar
5 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, pressed
pinch of sea salt
pinch of black pepper

Combine all ingredients in a jar and shake it up.  Add dressing sparingly until you've properly dressed the salad to your taste and then place in refrigerator for later use.
