arugula salad with cantelope


Posted by Picasa
i love this salad.  it is fresh tasting, pretty to look at, and easy to make. the photo really shows how easy and how few ingredients you need to put it together.  add a handful of arugula in a salad bowl, top with fresh cut, diced cantaloupe ( i buy a whole cantaloupe and chop it myself - you should too), then top with pieces of prosciutto.  i like to serve it best with a white balsamic vinaigrette, but a good squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil is really good, too.  the flavors of this salad compliment each other so well.  i have noticed that i have not been eating as many salads as i use to.  i miss them.  i feel so great when i have eaten a salad everyday, whether it's at lunch or dinner.  it just makes me feel better, healthier.  how often do you eat a salad?
