How to use Arugula & Cherry Tomatoes in your power salad

Arugula is a favorite in the Sweet Salad Company Gardens and I use it to make fresh Salad for a quick and easy lunch or side salad for dinner. When growing this beautiful plant I find that succession planting leaves me with endless amounts of this wonderful vegetable.

Adding any other delicious ripe veggies from the garden would be a great addition for this meal and Cherry Tomatoes are my favorite. Planting just a few Cherry Tomato plants and maintaining them through out the season benefits the Sweet Salad Company Gardens for months through out the year.

I really enjoy prepping the soil for any leafy vegetable in the Sweet Salad Gardens. We have almost an endless supply of plants to use in our gardens. We enjoy sharing these bounties with our family and friends. I document the types of plants that we grow in the gardens and we are trying our hand at seed saving.

Enjoy this wonderful salad with family and friends.
