Ladies (and gents), let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight snack that won’t have you feeling guilty at 2 AM! This crispy, tangy, and slightly sweet salad is exactly what you need when those late-night munchies hit. Trust me, I’ve perfected this recipe during countless Netflix binges.
What makes this salad special? It’s the perfect balance of crunchy and creamy textures, with a zingy dressing that’ll make your taste buds dance! Plus, it’s super quick to whip up when you’re in your PJs and don’t want to deal with complicated cooking.
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2 cups baby arugula (because we’re fancy like that)
– 1 crisp apple, thinly sliced
– 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
– 2 tablespoons candied walnuts
– 2 tablespoons pomegranate seeds
– Honey-lemon dressing (I’ll share the secret below!)
For the dressing (this is where the magic happens):
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon honey
– Juice of half a lemon
– Pinch of sea salt
– Fresh cracked pepper
Girl, let me tell you – this salad is so easy to put together, you could do it with your eyes closed (but don’t, safety first! 😉).
Instructions:
1. Toss that fresh arugula in a cute bowl (presentation matters, even at midnight!)
2. Layer those gorgeous apple slices
3. Sprinkle the goat cheese like you’re spreading fairy dust
4. Add those candied walnuts and pomegranate seeds
5. For the dressing, whisk all ingredients together until they’re as smooth as your favorite silk pajamas
