Arugula Salad with Butternut Squash and Wheat Berries
Arugula Salad with Butternut Squash and Wheat Berries
I created this salad using leftovers in my refrigerator. I like the peppery arugula paired with the sweet, nutty butternut squash. The wheat berries are also slightly nutty and provide a nice fine crunch and a bit of chewiness to add some texture to the salad. Balsamic vinaigrette with a bit of lemon works well, with the slightly sweet flavor. A splash of lemon really adds a pleasant zing and helps enhance all the flavors.
