Make this Summer Salad


Today at 4:30 I was wondering what to make for dinner as I railed through the grocery store, one child strapped to me and the other crying while driving one of those hideous race car shopping cart things around. This salad never fails. You can add things or take them away depending on what you forget at the store, and you can easily make it a meal by adding protein. Here are the ingredients:

arugula (my go-to lettuce because the nutty flavor can't be beat)
mango (it's so sexy and the color looks so pretty with any shade of green)
red onion chopped fine
tomatoes
toasted almonds (just put them in a pan with a little olive oil - it's easy)
avocado

Dress it all by mixing white wine vinegar, fresh lime juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper together. Make sure to  start with the vinegar and lime juice and then whisk the olive oil into that to emulsify it. Tonight we added rotisserie chicken and it was so easy.
