A healthy, full-flavored side dish and an exceptional taste experience

Halve and slice the cucumber and tomatoes. Slice the olives and celery into rings or half-moons. Finely chop the lemongrass. For the dressing, combine the white wine vinegar, olive oil, chili oil, and spices and mix well with the chopped vegetables in a bowl. Let it sit for a moment and stir in the arugula before serving. We love this delicious salad as a small side dish for two. For big salad eaters, or if you’re having the salad as a main course, simply double the ingredients. This umami salad was born out of experimental use of leftovers. It’s now a staple in our menu—we love its savory flavor.
