About

Why should you avoid store bought salad dressing? Let’s see…

  • Many contain genetically modified ingredients.
  • Many contain high fructose corn syrup.
  • Many contain chemicals, like titanium dioxide — which is also in paint.
  • Many use artificial dye for color.
  • Many contain trans fats.
  • Many contain MSG.

I love making simple, wholesome salad dressing to drizzle over fresh greens and veggies. It takes way less time and effort than you’d think, and it’s so worth it.

This salad has my two favorite green foods: arugula and asparagus. Look for organic arugula and skinny asparagus spears.


Serves 4
For the Dressing:

¼ cup red wine vinegar

1 Packet Stevia

zest from 1 Lemon

1 tablespoon dijon mustard

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh tangerine juice

Dash of salt and pepper

For the Asparagus:

1 bunch skinny asparagus

1 tablespoon olive oil

Dash of salt and pepper

For the Salad:

4 cups Baby Arugula

2 tangerines, peeled and segmented

1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced


Directions
1

In a small bowl combine the dressing ingredients.

2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a baking pan with olive oil.

3

Trim and discard the asparagus ends. Cut into 1-inch segments. Toss with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper.

4

Spread the asparagus over the prepared pan, bake for 10-15 minutes, until tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

5

In a large bowl combine the arugula, tangerine segments, avocado slices and cooked asparagus. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.
