Arugula Salad with Brie, Blackberries and Almonds

This is an effortless summer salad to be enjoyed with a simple drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar as an appetizer, side dish or light meal. It is also fantastic for brunch or while entertaining a big crowd. It is easy to assemble especially if you buy pre-washed, pre-stemmed arugula.

Oh lazy summer days, how perfect you are for this kind of salad. How perfect you are. Period.

    I love Arugula/rocket and use it in salads so often. Interesting combination. Another way is to use Arugula is with slightly cooked/pan fried cubes of butternut pumpkin with Roquefort cheese and pine nuts with a balsamic and honey dressing. Yummy!

    Simply beautiful. The summers are all about making quick salads so we can enjoy the weather (even if we got too much sun this year).
