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...

Fresh Roll

Since last summer I've planned to make fresh roll.

But in the middle of Fall season I could make it. Late summer roll ^_^

But I think it was good for balancing my meaty Korean barbecue.

Fresh & healthy to eat...Quick and easy to make

Ingredients :

Rice Paper

English Cucumber

Carrot

Mung Bean Vermicelli

Cilantro

Direction :

Wet rice paper with some warm water (...not too long, or else it will get too wet and easy to break)

Put the veggie and vermicelli on top of wet rice paper, wrap it thigh.

Many times I use peanut sauce for eating this roll, but this time I chose sweet and sour chilli sauce.
