I made this salad two days in a row. Arugula has a peppery taste, so it is really delicious when paired with the sweet apples. It is a really good option to use instead of regular lettuce, because it has a lot more flavor. Arugula is a good source of vitamin A and C. The chickpeas have protein, fiber, calcium, and iron. Apples have fiber and vitamin C. Almonds are excellent sources of vitamin E, B vitamins, protein, fiber, and they are a cancer fighting food. If you want a more filling meal, you can eat this with some bread, crackers, or even add croutons.
Salad:
2.5 ounces of Arugula
Half of one apple, sliced thin
1/4 cup of canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup of sliced and toasted almonds
2 slices of swiss cheese, chopped thinly
Dressing: Whisk in a separate bowl
1 tbsp of agave nectar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
