I LOVE salads! And, this Low FODMAP Arugula Salad with Grapes is a favorite! There are so many flavors and textures at play – sweet & juicy grapes, crunchy walnuts, peppery arugula and arguably the best part, the balsamic Dijon vinaigrette.
Although I will totally eat it as is, I like to top this salad with grilled chicken. Mmm MMm!

Hey there, fellow RD! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! And, for all the love! I definitely enjoy being a supermarket dietitian – no two days are the same (which is perfect for me) and I get to do many of the things I love (cook, educate, blog, etc.) on a daily basis. Are you in private practice? I just checked out your blog – love the layout and all of your yummy-looking plant-based recipes!! P.S. I’m totally jealous you’re in sunny Florida!
