Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing 5 ounces of baby arugula in a large salad bowl, creating a vibrant peppery foundation for your Arugula Salad with Berries. Gently toss the arugula to ensure it’s evenly spread.
  2. Next, layer 8 ounces of fresh, hulled, and sliced strawberries evenly on top of the arugula. Aim for an attractive arrangement to showcase the bright red color.
  3. Gently scatter 6 ounces of whole blueberries over the strawberries for added color and flavor.
  4. Now, crumble 4 ounces of goat cheese over the entire salad, enhancing the creaminess.
  5. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of balsamic glaze over the top of the salad, allowing the rich glaze to enhance the sweetness of the fruits.
  6. Serve your Arugula Salad with Berries immediately, without tossing, to maintain the attractive layering.
