    Celebrate the flavors of spring with this beautiful, fresh Arugula Spring Salad featuring peas, asparagus, radishes, mint and a simple lemon dressing. (vegan, gluten-free)

    Arugula Spring Salad

    This arugula spring salad is my newest salad obsession.

    It's full of ALL the gorgeous spring vegetables: arugula, green peas, snap peas, asparagus and radishes, with a generous sprinkling of fresh mint for an extra delicious spring punch, topped with a simple lemon vinaigrette made with just 2 ingredients - lemon and olive oil.  What more could you want in a breezy spring salad?

    How about pistachios for a little crunch? Those are in there too.

    I typically have a very hard time not adding cheese to salads because I think everything tastes better with the right cheese, but I honestly didn't even think about adding cheese to this one because it has a ton of flavor already. But if you must (and I don't blame you), I think this arugula spring salad would be fabulous with a little sprinkling of parmesan.

    I could go on and try to convince you of how delicious this spring salad is, but I won't other than to tell you to just try it and see for yourself. Because to be quite honest, I don't feel like writing much more and I have a sweet sleeping puppy in my lap who needs my attention. Happy spring, friends!
