Magnolia Table Recipes
In the introduction of Joanna Gaines’ cookbook, Magnolia Table she writes:
“A huge part of cooking is owning and enjoying the experience. Similar to my design philosophy about making your space uniquely yours, I want you to feel inspired to personalize these recipes and adjust them for your family’s tastes. In fact, I encourage you to switch it up more often than not.” –Joanna Gaines
So, in light of that, my favorite blogger friends and I are sharing our 7 favorite Magnolia Table recipes! First up is my version of Joanna’s recipe for Layered Arugula Salad.
Layered Arugula Salad
Our family just loves arugula. And admittedly I eat it for lunch every day in some version of a healthy salad. When I saw this recipe for layered arugula salad, I knew it would be the perfect “fancier” version of my favorite salad.
And I think this would be perfect for the upcoming holidays or any get together. Joanna says it’s perfect for a potluck or any time you have to bring something to a friend’s house for dinner!
See, my variation from the original recipe substitutes pears with apples and blue cheese with feta. And I think this layered arugula salad is perfect for fall and winter.
The spicy arugula is offset with the sweet apples and creamy feta cheese crumbles. I topped the salad with my Baked Apple Chips for some added crunch and sweetness. Now, this is totally optional but my family loved it!
I just love how easy this layered arugula salad is to put together. And the presentation is absolutely beautiful! This may be my favorite Magnolia Table recipe yet!
