Ingredients 2 tsp. apple cider vinegar 2 tsp. olive oil 2 tsp. honey 2 cups arugula (arugula’s peppery flavor complements the sweetness of the berries, much like the perfect couple — sweet and spicy) 1/2 cup blackberries 1/2 cup raspberries Squeeze of fresh lemon juice 1 Tbsp. pine nuts 1/4 ounce dark chocolate Procedure In a large salad bowl, pour in equal portions of apple cider vinegar, olive oil and honey. Mix with a fork. Add two big handfuls of arugula. Toss with dressing. Add 1/2 cup each of blackberries and raspberries. No aphrodisiac salad would be complete without “fruit nipples.” Squeeze some lemon juice onto the salad, just enough to sprinkle with flavor and extra antioxidants. The lemon helps to pull together flavors similar to salt but acts as a diuretic, unlike salt. Sprinkle with pine nuts and shaved dark chocolate. Cut slivers using a sharp knife. Apply just enough chocolate to decorate the salad. A little goes a long way to perfectly compliment the flavors of the sweet berries and spicy greens.
