Common Questions
How do I keep the arugula from wilting? The best way is to keep the dressing in a separate container until the very last second. Only toss the salad right before you are ready to eat. Can I substitute the feta cheese? Absolutely! Goat cheese works beautifully for a tangier flavor, or you can use vegan feta to keep it plant-based. What other nuts can I use? Toasted pecans or sliced almonds are great alternatives if you don't have hazelnuts on hand.
