baby arugula salad

this is one of my favorite salads...it is so fresh and simple.  i serve it with a shallot and red wine vinaigrette that is so easy to make....

ingredients/supplies (makes 1 large salad or 2 small salads):
-2-3 handfuls of organic baby arugula
-1 handful of organic garbanzo beans
-1 handful of organic heirloom baby tomatoes
-1 heart of palm
-1/4 of an avocado
-dash of grated parmesan cheese
-1/2 tablespoon of red wine vinegar
-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
-1/3 of a shallot
-2-3 pinches of fleur de sel (or kosher salt)
-a large bowl, a whisk, a cutting board, and a knife

prepping/chopping/mixing:
i mix everything in 1 bowl...starting with the salad dressing...

prepping:
-wash and dry the arugula, tomatoes, and the garbanzo beans
-measure the extra virgin olive oil and vinegar into a mixing bowl

chopping:
-slice the tomatoes, heart of palm, and the avocado
-dice the shallot

mixing:

-whisk the olive oil and vinegar together and add the shallots and 2-3 pinches of salt

-add the arugula, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, heart of palm, avocado, parmesan cheese to the bowl and toss together 

i take this salad on the go all the time...i pack all the veggies together and keep the dressing separate in a glass jar until i am ready to eat...so filling and delish....

enjoy!
