Wow, I was a bit shocked when this arrived to the table and there were only 4 tortilla chips on the plate, lol! But I have to say that they were really filling, and pretty tasty! I tend to overeat so I was secretly relieved that there was just enough to taste and enjoy. 🙂

Beet and arugula salad – Andalu

Beet arugula salad Andalu
Lightly dressed in a champagne vinaigrette, this simple beet and arugula salad has sliced red onions and is topped with ricotta salata.
Andalu, San Francisco

To me, beets and arugula are a perfect match.  The peppery greens are balanced by the sweet flavor and smooth texture of the beets.  The mellow ricotta salata was a great addition.  I’m not a huge salad fan, but you can’t go wrong with a simple, delicious preparation.
