Arugula & Fennel Salad

I find salads easy to do for camping since almost everything can be prepped before the trip, stored and then just thrown together at the campsite. Also they go great with almost anything. I like to serve this one with my campfire lasagna and garlic bread recipes

Ingredients–

• 6 cups arugula (store in ziploc bags prior to trip)
• 1 bulb fennel, thinly sliced (store in ziploc bags prior to trip)
• 1 to 1 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
• 1/2 cup – 3/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 lemon
• 1/2 cup pepitas
• 1 lime
• Salt
• Pepper
• Cayenne

Directions–

Note: I do the first four steps before camping trip and store in a small mason jars

1. In a small bowl, combine juice of half of lime, pepitas and dash of cayenne. Stir until combined
2. Heat oil in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add limed pepitas and toss frequently until lighter color and toasted
3. Coat with juice from other half of the lime and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in a small mason jar if making prior to trip

1. Make dressing by combining olive oil, juice from a lemon and salt and pepper (to taste). Store in a small mason jar prior to trip
2. Combine in a large bowl, arugula, fennel, pomegranate seeds and shaved Parmesan.
3. Drizzle with dressing and toss until coated
4. Top with limed pepitas and serve!
