10 minutes

A fresh arugula and vegetable salad with yogurt dressing is a light, refreshing dish that perfectly combines textures and flavors. The roots of this salad trace back to Italian cuisine, where the simplicity and freshness of ingredients are the foundation of gastronomic philosophy. Crunchy iceberg lettuce and spicy arugula create a wonderful green base, while ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet peppers add juiciness and natural sweetness. The light yogurt sauce gives the dish softness, while sea salt and olive oil complete the harmony of flavors. An ideal option for a light dinner or as an accompaniment to main dishes, this salad pairs beautifully with a glass of dry red wine. It not only pleases the eye with its vibrant colors but also fills the body with vitamins and the freshness of the Mediterranean.
