Instructions
Arugula Salad
- Combine all ingredients, except the toasted almonds in a large bowl.
- Set aside
- Place the raw nuts in a small skillet in a single layer.

- As the release of the natural oils from the nuts, the seasoning sticks to the nuts.
Dressing

- Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss until coated.
- Add the toasted almonds and toss again.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Toasting Almonds Without Using Oil
To toast almonds or any nuts without oil, place the raw nuts in a small skillet in a single layer. Then, cook on medium-low, stirring the nuts continuously as they cook. The nuts brown quickly, so don't leave the nuts unattended. If you prefer to season the nuts, add some seasoning of choice to the cooking nuts. As the release of the natural oils from the nuts, the seasoning sticks to the nuts.Nutrition
