Ingredients
For the Salad:
- 1 bunch arugula approx a dozen small leaves
- 12 cherry tomato
- 1 fig
- ⅛ cup Pine Nuts Whole
- 1 small shallot
- 3.5 ounces feta cheese
For the Dressing:
- ⅓ vinegar *see Notes
- ⅔ olive oil
- pinch salt
- pinch Black Pepper Ground
Instructions
- Prepare all your fresh produce by washing them properly under cold water. That includes the arugula, tomatoes, and fig.
- Shred the arugula leaves, cut the tomatoes in two and the fig into smaller pieces.
- Place it all into a salad bowl and add the pine nuts.
- Peel and chop your shallot small. Add to the salad bowl too.
- Cut your Feta Cheese into small cubes and add to the other ingredients or crumble into the salad bowl. Mix everything a bit.
- For the arugula salad vinaigrette dressing, add vinegar, a pinch of salt and pepper and mix. Then add the oil (seasoning needs to be mixed first with vinegar because it doesn't mix into the oil) and either beat with a fork or shake in a dressing shaker.
- Pour dressing over the salad just before serving your arugula feta salad.

Notes
- For the Vinaigrette Dressing mix, always ⅓ vinegar with ⅔ oil, no matter the quantity. You can also use my Dijon mustard vinaigrette instead.
- Fill up a dressing bottle to use in the days ahead in other salads as well, or simply mix 1 tablespoon vinegar with 2 tablespoon oil. Always season with salt and pepper and taste with a piece of salad leave.
