Sweet Summer Salad












Summer is in full swing and my garden is pumping out arugula like a factory. As a result, I am constantly trying to work it into recipes. Today's concoction is a mixture of strawberries, arugula, and jicama. The sweetness of the berries snuggles right up to the spicy arugula and the jicama adds a much needed crunch. The salad is finished with a simple squeeze of lemon which ties everything together in one delicious package. Boldly flavorful yet surprisingly light, this salad is a little slice of summer that stands up well on it's own or acts as a perfect counterpart to a heavier main dish. It's only four ingredients, people, give it a shot! Your taste buds will thank you.
