A massive pile of peppery fresh arugula crowned with a thick block of light feta or goat cheese placed right in the center. The cheese is drizzled with both a bright zero-fat "honey" mustard made from Greek yogurt and Dijon, and dark sugar-free balsamic glaze streaks. Dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes are tucked around the edges, and a seed crust is concentrated on the sticky glaze atop the cheese.

👨‍🍳Method

1

Rehydrate the Tomatoes

10 min

Place your dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl and cover them with hot water for about 10 minutes to plump them up and make them tender and juicy. Drain well and chop them if they are large.

💡Save a tablespoon of the soaking liquid — it makes a flavorful, zero-calorie addition to the dressing.
2

Mix the Yellow Sauce

1 min

In a small cup, thoroughly whisk your non-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and sweetener until it forms a smooth, bright yellow dressing.

3

Build the Lush Base

1 min

In a wide serving bowl, pile your fresh arugula high. Tuck your plumped sun-dried tomatoes around the edges of the greens.

4

Place the Core

1 min

Carefully place your solid block of light cheese right in the center of the arugula bed.

5

The Double Drizzle

1 min

Drizzle your yellow, zero-fat "honey" mustard over the cheese and the greens. Then take your sugar-free balsamic glaze and create heavy, dark streaks directly across the cheese block.

6

The Seed Crust

1 min

Take your single teaspoon of mixed seeds and sprinkle them exclusively over the sticky balsamic glaze on top of the cheese block. This concentrates the crunch and gives the visual illusion of a heavily seeded salad without blowing your fat macros. Serve immediately!
