This salad is so satisfying. Creamy Dijon Dressing mixed with a variety of greens, potatoes, onion, and sweet strawberries. You can add whatever you’d like to this salad and I can bet it will still taste delicious. I mean, c’mon… strawberries with dijon dressing and potatoes? Who woulda thought? 🙂
If you haven’t tried arugula yet, you are in for a surprise. This lettuce has a very robust, slightly bitter flavor that pairs delightfully with strawberries or other sweet mixings. Since the flavor of arugula is quite strong, I enjoy combining it with other greens like romaine and spinach. The dijon dressing is a great dressing for this mix of greens as it is sweet and creamy. I love that there is no added salt or oil in this dressing. I’ve found that most salad dressings can taste great and offer a satisfying texture even with the oil omitted.
I think this dressing would be great over asparagus, potatoes, or other salad fixings (cranberries, raisins, walnuts, pecans, carrots, apple, etc). Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! =)
