I present to you the crunchy and simple arugula, avocado & walnut salad of the day!
I was never thrilled with the strong flavor of mustard and it has been years since I’ve last had some. But today, I decided to experiment and see if it made any difference for me to include some Dijon mustard in a salad.
The result? Well, I can now understand why Dijon mustard has become such a popular ingredient in salad dressings. It adds quite a pleasant touch to this recipe. Enjoy!
