our first and best steps begin with food
Quick and flavorful, this salad is a lovely accompaniment to any pasture-raised meat meal, or by itself as a simple lunch. With fresh avocado and olive oil, you get great portions of vital healthy fats. Arugula is a great cancer-fighting food (its cousins are broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts) that provides Calcium, Potassium, Folate, and Vitamins C, A, and K. Take a look at my “Build Immune Support” page under the Resources tab to learn why these nutrients are rock stars!
4 large handfuls arugula
1 medium avocados, diced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
2 stalks celery, sliced at an angle
2 tablespoons each of olive oil and lime juice (1:1, I used 1/4 cup each for larger recipe to have extra) — blend by shaking together in a tightly closed jar
Mix all salad ingredients gently in a bowl and then drizzle with oil and lime juice.
Cover the mixture lightly, and keep extra dressing handy for people who may want just a little bit more.
