Warm Bean and Arugula Salad

 

This is a lovely and simple salad to add to your festive meals at this time of year. We are moving towards colder weather and hearty soups and stews are a cozy welcome. A wintery salad adds dimension to those strengthening meals and keeps you feeling youthful and refreshed. It is also a reminder of the warmer days left behind.
