Honestly, this salad is so simple and so tasty. It made me remember why I love salad so much. It makes you feel nourished and connected to the earth, especially when you pick most of it from your own backyard.

Arugula Basil Salad With Sweet Corn, Red Beans, Lemon and Spices

Ingredients

Salad:
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1/2 cup basil
  • 1/2 cup cilantro
  • 2 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup red beans
  • 1 cup sweet corn 
Dressing:
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon antioxidant omega oil blend
  • Pinch of Himalayan salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander

Preparation

  1. Throw it all together, let it sit for a few minutes so the flavors develop and the leaves soften, then chomp!

Notes

You can really use whatever you have lying around to make the dressing (and salad too, for that matter). All you need is a sweet component, a creamy component, and a tangy component.
