Ingredients

Units

For the Salad

  • 2 cups arugula
  • 2 cups maché
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds

For the Mustard Vinaigrette

  • 1 sprig fresh thyme, leaves only, crushed
  • 1 heaping tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of pepper
  • 1/8 or a sprinkling of turmeric
  • pinch of granulated garlic
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon sugar, adjust to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the arugula and maché.
  2. Add the sliced strawberries and halved grape tomatoes.
  3. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over the salad.
  4. In a small bowl or sealable container, place the thyme leaves and crush them with the back of a spoon or a pestle. Add the whole grain mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, turmeric, granulated garlic, and sugar, then mix or shake vigorously until well combined.

Notes

For a more filling salad, consider adding grilled chicken or tofu. Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. You can substitute maché with baby spinach if unavailable.
