Peppery arugula with hot honey roasted brussels sprouts, fresh cherry tomatoes, jalapenos, crunchy bacon and bright Lemon Dijon Dressing.

Arugula salad with fresh tomatoes, fresh jalapenos, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, and lemon Dijon dressing garnished with bacon.

Arugula is not the salad greens I grew up with and wasn’t my go-to. Now, I pick it more often and love this Fresh and Roasted Arugula Salad with Lemon Dijon Dressing. Each ingredient in the salad pairs well with the peppery arugula. The Hot Honey Brussels Sprouts give the salad a little savory and sweet. The bacon gives a crunch to everything. The Lemon Dijon Dressing adds brightness. And the jalapeno and tomatoes add freshness. A little bit of everything in one salad.

Tips or Tricks

• If you are looking to save time and money in the kitchen, instead of making fresh hot honey brussels sprouts and bacon, use leftovers.

  • Make bacon for breakfast and the hot honey brussels sprouts with a side of protein for lunch.

  • For dinner, enjoy this fulfilling salad. The salad is extremely delicious with fresh hot out of the oven and off the stove bacon and brussels sprouts, but using leftovers is nummy too. You make the recipes once versus multiple times.
