I absolutely love this super simple salad of arugula, shaved fennel, and microgreens topped with a crisp shallot vinaigrette. This microgreens salad is also so quick to make and so versatile in flavor that its a perfect side dish to nearly any protein at anytime of year. Microgreens are young seedlings of vegetables and herbs that are newly sprouted and have only one set of leaves — aka, they’re basically “baby” plants. Microgreens not only have these powerful phytochemicals, but they also house vitamin K, which helps promotes healthy blood pressure, plus fiber (prebiotics) to fuel the human microbiome. This makes microgreens a delicious group of crisp, bright, and super nutritious plants that we can use as garnishes but also as the main ingredient!
