FREEKEH ARUGULA SALAD
Arugula greens have a nice peppery taste that is a welcome change to the old hum-drum spring mix. They work great with the sweetness of the balsamic glaze and macron almonds in this recipe. Marcona almonds are a rare treat since they are a tad bit more expensive - but well worth it! They have a unique creamy taste that is different from traditional almonds.

- good quality goat cheese
- balsamic glaze (not vinegar)
