Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Greens Thoroughly 💧
Wash and spin-dry your baby arugula completely before serving—excess moisture will dilute the vinaigrette and make the salad soggy within minutes.
Toast Your Walnuts Fresh 🥜
Lightly toast walnut pieces in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes just before serving to enhance their nutty flavor and add a pleasant crunch that won't soften.
Crumble Goat Cheese Strategically 🧀
Tear or crumble the goat cheese into larger, irregular pieces and add it just before serving to prevent it from breaking down and distributing unevenly throughout the salad.
Dress at the Last Moment ⏰
Toss your salad with the raspberry vinaigrette no more than 2-3 minutes before serving to maintain the arugula's peppery bite and prevent the delicate berries from becoming mushy.
Chill Your Bowl and Plates 🥶
Pre-chill your serving bowl and individual plates in the refrigerator to keep the salad crisp and fresh, especially important since this salad is best served cold.
