Spinach, Arugula, and Rose Salad

Mixing this salad, we are searching for perfect harmony between lightness of ingredients and richness of flavors – green freshness, fruity sweetness, some crunchiness and the surprising floral elegance of the rose for a mind blowing final. I know, it might sound complicated but in reality it’s as easy and as natural as upcoming summer. Here how it happens – we are mixing spinach, arugula and carrots in a vitamins cocktail. We are adding also some extras – dried fruits and raw nuts. Then we are putting together a special salad dressing that we are tempted to save by copyrights… and instead we share it here with you. Its major advantage is that it has the super power to surprisingly add that rose flavor to every green leaves salad, all year round.
