Now that the weather is warmer here it has me craving light and fresh meals. You know I love a salad and this one is my new favorite. Not only is it gorgeous to look at with so many colors but it is delicious too (and super healthy) ! I have been eating this for my lunch but if you wanted to serve this as a main meal it would be awesome served with grilled chicken or shrimp. If you decide to make this ahead of time I would wait til the last minute to add in the arugula so it doesn’t get too wilted. This is best served at room temperature. Enjoy!

I wore my new fringe shift dress last night to a Fashion week event and I wanted to share it is back in stock in most sizes.
Sizing wise I went up a size. I am normally a 4 but the 4 was snug in my hips so I went up to a 6 and it fits perfectly. I have already worn this dress 2 times this week. I dressed it up with wedges last night but then I also wore it with flats during the day. Super versatile.

We attended a party last night for Lilly Pulitzer and it was so fun! The party was at The Grand Bohemian Hotel, and the rooftop area was awesome.
Such a cool spot to hang out and have a drink over looking the city.
yum – I'm making this salad asap! I just made your roasted beet salad the other day and it was amazing too!
Yum! I love all things arugula!
I would love to pin this salad but don't see a way to do that from your blog. Any tips?
