Strawberry Arugula Salad – The Paleo Mom
When you get bored of garden salads, this salad has it all: peppery arugula, sweet strawberries, spiced pecans, the tang of goat cheese (if you tolerate goat dairy and chose to include it in your diet) and a zesty lime dressing to finish it off! You can make the pecans ahead of time and store any leftovers in a plastic container in your fridge. There is a little honey added to the pecans. It’s not enough to result in candied pecans, but it’s essential in helping the spices stick to the nuts.
