This arugula apple salad is one of my favorite salads to make. Especially during the fall and winter. It’s great to whip up a quick salad for lunch or to bring to a gathering. You could easily add chicken or prosciutto on top for a little added flavor. In the summer time I like to make the watermelon arugula salad with pecans version. The arugula base of this salad already starts with a rich flavor then it is topped with apples and pears to add a sweet touch. I love to top it with some pecans or even candied pecans before topping the whole salad with a balsamic dressing. This salad is always a hit when I bring it to gatherings and is perfect for around the holidays when you may have several parties to attend.
