I made this simple and healthy Plum and Tomato Arugula Salad for lunch today! I have been wanting to eat a bit cleaner these days. Thought it would be perfect to make a salad with all these ingredients I had on hand. I love sweet juicy plums and tomatoes. They pair awesome with the creamy avocados and garbanzo beans! The pumpkin seeds and chia seeds add a toasty crunchy element to the salad!
I absolutely love these tomatoes on a vine from Whole Foods! They are gorgeous, plump and juicy… and perfect for salads. They are so bright and fragrant. Try this simple salad for your next at home lunch or dinner!
