ARUGULA SALAD WITH BERRIES/BALSAMIC GLAZE

This festive arugula salad is loaded with strawberries, blueberries, creamy goat cheese and drizzled with the best balsamic glaze!

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 6 people as a side salad

Ingredients:

SALAD:

  • 5 oz baby arugula
  • 8 oz strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 6 oz blueberries
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 Tbsp Balsamic Glaze*, or added to taste

 

BALSAMIC GLAZE:

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 Tbsp honey or sweetener of choice (optional)

 

Directions:

SALAD:

  • Place arugula into a large salad bowl. Top with sliced strawberries, whole blueberries, and crumbled goat cheese.
  • Drizzle the top with balsamic glaze, adding it to taste and serve. Do not toss this salad. It serves beautifully just drizzled and left as is.

 

BALSAMIC GLAZE:

  • Pour 1 cup balsamic vinegar into a saucepan and add the sweetener (if using).
  • Bring to a low boil, then reduce heat to keep at a simmer for 12-15 minutes.
  • Stir occasionally until reduced by half and lightly coats the back of a spoon. It will thicken more as it cools.
  • Transfer to a mason jar or air-tight container, let cool to room temperature then refrigerate for 3 to 4 weeks.

 

*Reduction time depends on the surface area of your saucepan – a larger saucepan will reduce faster.
