Salads should never be boring or underwhelming. They should be satisfying, nourishing, filling, and dare I say…downright delicious.
This salad holds up well as a bonafide meal – excellent source of fiber, protein, vitamins K, A and C, and omega-3 fatty acids. The peppery arugula is tamed down by the sweetness of the cherries and plout, along with the creamy avocado and savory tofu. Cheers!
