It’s lemony and peppery at the same time, with a hint of creaminess and nuttiness. You will love this salad!

Ingredients for Kale Arugula Salad

This kale arugula salad is made up of very few ingredients. Baby kale arugula blend, shaved parmesan, pine nuts, and creamy avocado, tossed in an olive oil lemon dressing.

If you can’t find shaved parmesan at your supermarket, use a vegetable peeler to shave your own.

Why Use Baby Greens?

They’re more tender, bite-sized, and require no massaging or any extra steps. Baby kale is a younger version of kale. It’s usually sold on its own or as a blend with other greens in a plastic tub. 

Arugula is a leafy green with a peppery taste, also known as rocket. It’s delicate, tender, and pairs well with baby kale.

Tips for Making Kale Arugula Salad

Save time on prep and buy washed baby arugula and baby kale. Look for a blend, usually sold in plastic bins.

If you can’t find shaved Parmesan at your supermarket, shave your own with a vegetable peeler. Just be sure to get good-quality Parmesan. 

Taste, taste, and taste. Add a little dressing to the salad at first, toss, and taste. Does it need more dressing? More salt? More acidity?
