Leafy greens and peppery arugula pair with sweet cherries, earthy basil, and nutty macadamias for a flavorful and refreshing salad.
Equipment
- Sharp Knife
- Cherry Pitter
Ingredients
For the Salad
- 3 cups Organic Arugula
- 2 cups Organic Red Leaf Lettuce
- ¼ cup Macadamia Nuts chopped
- ½ cup Cherries fresh or frozen, pitted
For the Dressing
- ¼ cup Cherries pureed
- ¼ cup Fresh Basil
- 2 Tablespoons Kasandrino’s Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Filtered Water
- ⅛ teaspoon Redmond Real Salt
Instructions
- Wash the lettuce, arugula, and basil. Set the basil aside. Dry the lettuce with a salad spinner or clean dish towel.*
- Cut or break the lettuce into bite sized pieces.
- Add the lettuce and arugula to a large mixing bowl and toss to combine.
- Chop the macadamia nuts. Set aside.
- Cut ½ cup of cherries in half and set aside.
- In your blender, make the dressing by adding ¼ cup of the whole cherries, basil, olive oil, water, and salt. Blend until combined.
- Add the dressing to the arugula and red leaf lettuce. Toss to combine.
- Distribute the dressed salad greens evenly between two plates or salad bowls. Add the halved cherries and mac nuts to each plate and serve.
- Have leftover chicken? Add it to the salad for a boost of protein.
- Like a little kick to your salad? Add some thinly sliced shallots or red onion.
Notes
*A salad spinner removes extra water and keeps the salad from getting too watery once the dressing is added. But you can also just pat the lettuce dry with a clean dish towel.
