Ingredients

  • 2.8 oz 80 grams arugula babyleaf salad mix (or your preferred salad mix)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 English cucumber
  • 1 avocado
  • 8 oz 225 grams fresh mozzarella
  • 1 cup canned sweet corn
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze or to taste
  • 1/2 cup walnuts
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar optional, for candied nuts
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • (Optional) – Make the candied/sugary nuts. To a pan over medium heat, add the sugar (in an even layer) and nuts. Let it melt for a couple minutes and mix the nuts around. Transfer to a small plate to cool. If not making candied nuts, simply use store-bought roasted nuts. For an added touch of sweetness, you could use honey-roasted nuts.
  • Chop the tomatoes, avocado, mozzarella, and cucumber.
  • Plate up the salad mix and add the corn on top of it.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, mozzarella, and walnuts (candied or regular).
  • Add the balsamic glaze and salt and pepper to taste.
