Hello simple summer salad filled with peppery arugula, roasted potatoes, hard boiled eggs and radishes all topped with a homemade garlic mustard vinaigrette and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese!
I’ve been VERY into salads this summer, there’s something about the heat that makes me want fresh, water-packed foods. I’ve been all about fruit, smoothies and salads.
Especially salads like this that are hearty and filling while still somehow being able to feel light and refreshing.
If you’re skeptical about putting roasted potatoes into your salad, I’m here to tell you DON’T BE!! It’s really life-changing. Or at least salad-changing.
Mixed with the garlic mustard vinaigrette and the sprinkle of parmesan cheese, it makes this salad feel like a truly hearty meal.
It’s also hitting a BUNCH of food groups all in one: you’re getting starch from the potato, veggies from the arugula and radishes, protein from the eggs and parmesan cheese and some heart healthy fat from the olive-oil based vinaigrette. Add a piece of fruit on the side and you’re good to go!
You guys know I love an easy all-in-one meal!
It’s also totally packable. Put the dressing in a separate container to add right before eating and you’re not having to deal with soggy lettuce!
