Easy Arugula Black Bean Salad With Cottage Cheese
This easy arugula black bean salad with cottage cheese is an elegant, healthy and refreshing dish. Arugula is a leafy vegetable low in calories and high in calcium and vitamins. This is a first time, I tried arugula green in my life. It doesn’t taste good on its own but the dressing and the cheese compliment well with peppery arugula. This simple arugula salad has a perfect mix of all tastes and flavors, bitter (arugula), sour (salsa and red wine vinaigrette), sweet (honey) and rich and creamy (cottage cheese, cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese) and crunchy taste (tortilla chips) makes a full and satisfying salad. If you love nuts, you can top the salad with pine nuts or peanuts or pecans. Serve as a first course or as an accompaniment for pizza or pasta for dinner.
