I call this Elisa's Jalapeno Arugula Mediterranean Salad and the best part, it's 100% organic.
In Croatia, arugula is also known as rikula, and when I order it by name at the supermarkets I always giggle because it reminds me of the cough drops ricola.
So happy to have jalapenos growing in Grandma's garden. I will be preparing fresh salsa, pico de gallo and why not prepare a summer salad with them?
Here is my recipe for the Jalapeno Arugula Mediterranean Salad
1 bunch of arugula (rikula), rinsed and chopped
2 large tomatoes cubed 2 bell peppers diced 1 or 2 jalapenos diced, depending how crunchy and spicy you want your salad to be2Tbsp of olive oil
pinch of salt
mix all and enjoy!
Pico de gallo is bomb diggity! I just had some of that for taco night!
ReplyDeleteOhhh my...love that post:)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have some of this Jalapeno Arugula Mediterranean Salad...yummy:) Those are such a great photos,sweetie:)
Kisses and see you soon:)
Pico de gallo!!! Thanks for the recipe! I love having a recipe like this. Since it's hot here, this would be a great salad to serve. First I've got to find Jalapeno though! Kaho
ReplyDeleteWow! Organic pico de gallo! Love it! Sigh, I make mine from the can...instant, not as authentic as yours!
ReplyDeleteSalads are best in the summer time!
P.S. Sorry for this late reply, I have been tending to my sick cat.
Hi Stephanie,yummy with tacos, you have the right idea!
ReplyDeleteDiana I'm glad you like the recipe, super easy right?
ReplyDeleteKaho, I hope you have luck finding the jalapenos, there are quite rare to find here, if we are lucky I can buy 4 or 5 for around $4 dollars! yeah. so last year we ordered some seeds via ebay and we started them in small containers then this spring we transferred them to hubby's grandma's garden. I'm a happy girl with my jalapenos
ReplyDeleteOh Ebie, I'm sorry to hear about your cat, I will be over to write it on your blog.. hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteOh, that salad looks yummy!! I love tomatoes, especially in the summer! xoxo
ReplyDeletesounds delish! i'd love a good pico recipe too! do share!
ReplyDeleteSounds good, even though I can't handle the hot stuff.
ReplyDeleteHi there Melissa! yes tomatoes are quite versatile and you can always eat them alone with a dash of salt.
ReplyDeleteJen, I will have to prepare it again, the pico de gallo, because I do a little of this, and etc but don't have the exact measurements. I will share of course.
ReplyDeleteCarolynn, you can switch the jalapenos for a small dash of crush pepper, it would do the trick or you can omit them as well, it will still be a yummy salad.
