Tomato & Arugula Salad

Excellent · 1 review

A bright mix of halved cherry tomatoes and peppery arugula tossed in a glossy balsamic‑mustard vinaigrette, speckled with thin ribbons of red onion. The dressing clings to the greens, giving each bite a balanced tangy‑sweet finish. Fresh, quick, and perfect as a light lunch or side for any meal.
