This arugula and avocado salad with jalapeno vinaigrette is the perfect summer salad. It’s quick, it’s easy, it’s light, and it’s healthy. It is a perfect combination of flavors and textures. I found this recipe in a random magazine years ago and have been making it ever since. I hope you love it as much as I do!
