Arugula Salad with Red Beans & Mandarin Orange

Summer is almost ended. If I may choose, I want warm/hot weather as summer time with foliage like autumn season has. I still feel like to eat fresh veggie and fruit...Don't want to end this summer.

I made simple salad with arugula, red beans, mandarin orange and tomato. I made simple dressing for this salad. Combination of spicy arugula with nutty taste from the beans and some sweetness from the orange are so lovely. Love it...

Ingredients :

Baby Arugula (about 2 handfuls )

Canned Red beans ( drain, wash, rinse) -- about 3-4 tbsp

Canned Mandarin Orange ( drain the syrup)

Crouton (crushed to add some crunchy texture)

Shredded Parmesan Cheese --- 1 -2 tbsp

Plum tomato - sliced

Dressing :

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp honey balsamic vinaigrette

1 tbsp lemon juice

salt & pepper to taste

(whisk all the ingredients of the dressing)

Put all the veggie and beans in a bowl, pour the dressing over them. Toss them. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and crushed crouton.

Ready to enjoy...
