Ingredients
- 4 cups of arugula

- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ cup feta cheese
- ½ cup cucumber, roughly chopped
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 2 tsp. mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, minced garlic, pepper, and salt. Once that is combined, slowly whisk in the olive oil by pouring the olive oil and whisking at the same time.
Toss together the cucumber and arugula in a large mixing bowl. Then, arrange the blueberries, feta, and tomatoes on top to resemble the American flag. This is just for presentation; the salad will need to be tossed before serving.
PRO TIP: Do not add your dressing until you are ready to serve. This will keep your salad from getting soggy.
