Okay, so I can’t let you think that I only bake buttery chocolatey goodness and don’t attempt anything else. I DO! And here’s proof.
I present to you, Arugula Salad. Okay, so yes, it has croutons and feta cheese and olive oil. But, it’s still healthy, so shut up. And the croutons are homemade and awesome (which is, honestly, the only reason I’m posting this. Who doesn’t know how to make a salad?) And please don’t notice the burnt wooden spoon.
I’d like to thank my brother-in-law and his family for providing us with great-tasting arugula from their farm in Garayen. 
Arugula Salad
Ingredients:
- 3 cups arugula
- 3 tablespoons feta cheese (Crumbled. I use President. It’s not too salty. Works well with salads)
- 2 tablespoons sweet corn (optional) OR 2 tablespoons of pine nuts (optional)
Croutons:
- 1 cup of cubed bread (Any type of bread you like, but IMO, what works best: hot dog buns. I know. Crazy)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon herbes de provence
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or minced garlic
- 1-2 teaspoons of salt
Vinaigrette:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- salt, pepper (to taste)
Mix vinaigrette ingredients, and toss some of that on the salad. Top with croutons and pine nuts.
Dig in, and enjoy!
سلطة الجرجير مع البالسميك
المقادير:
3 أكواب جرجير
3 ملاعق كبيرة جبنة فيتا (مفتفتة، أنصح بماركة برزدنت، مناسبة للسلطات لأنها مب مالحة مرة)
ملعقتين كبار ذرة حلوة أو صنوبر (اختياري)
للخبز المحمص:
كوب من الخبز، مقطع مكعبات (تقدرون تستخدمون أي نوع بس أنا استنتجت إن الصامولي اللي يجي شوي مسطح أحسن نوع)
3 ملاعق كبار زيت زيتون
ملعقة كبيرة أعشاب دوبروفينس
ملعقة صغيرة من بودرة الثوم أو ثوم مفروم
ملعقة أو ملعقتين صغار ملح
التتبيلة:
ربع كوب زيت زيتون
ملعقتين كبار خل البلسمك
نص ملعقة صغيرة خردل ديجون
نص ملعقة صغيرة سكر
ملح وفلفل أسود حسب الرغبة
الطريقة:
الخبز المحمص: هذي الطريقة مرة سهلة ومرة سريعة وبصراحة أفضلها على اللي ينشرى جاهز منها توفير ومنها طعم لذيذ: اخلطوا كل المكونات المخصصة (إلا الخبز) وبعدين خلوا الخبز يتغطى بهالخليط تماماً، دخلوه بالفرن لين ما يتحمص، يمكن 10-15 دقيقة إذا الفرن على 180 درجة مئوية.
اخلطوا التتبيلة مع السلطة وبعدين حطوا الخبز المحمص فوقه والصنوبر.
بالعافية!
I’m sure I told u this before but I really truly love the way you write your recipes !! And I love this salad too ! Although instead of pine nuts I like to add walnuts, and instead of feta cheese I use fresh parmesan cheese shreds.
I don’t remember you telling me this, actually! So thank you.
That’s a nice variation and I usually have it this way, too, but you should try it with feta cheese. It’s incredibly yum.
hello

LOL, Bedour, see? I remember what you tell me. Unlike you and your morning coffee.
Great website! Keep it up!

i’ve always preferred arugula (awal marra a3rif inna hatha ismu) to normal lettuce salads. the croutons and the vinaigrette sound ridic! will try them out today. thank you!
Hey Sara! Try it out and let me know what you think about it.
I also prefer Jarjeer to lettuce. 
just to let you know that i did, and it was -of course- delish! been having it for dinner for the past couple of days. <3
I’m SO glad!
Hi again
What brand for balsamic vinegar do use ?? I tried 3 different types and my mom keeps telling me it tastes like old expired vinegar lol seems she is not a balsamic person .. And how to keep it for a long time ?? Or i have to consume it in short time once it’s opened ?
Thanks again,
God bless you
Gonna be your customer << fahma 3'ala6 lol
Unfortunately, good balsamic vinegar is NO WHERE to be found in Saudi Arabia. If you ever travel abroad, grab as many bottles as you can. Look for barrel-aged balsamic vinegar. The cheap supermarket balsamic vinegar goes bad after opening, I think. But not the good quality ones. Store it in a cool dark place and it will last for years, even. That is, if you can resist it for that long.
yeah that’s a good idea but don’t u think they would suspect it as wine at the airport lol
thanks for the advice
They MIGHT ask but just tell them it’s vinegar. They’d let it pass since you’re a girl. LOL.
You’re welcome.
