Arugula Fennel Salad with Choco Dressing

Arugula, fennel, and pine nuts are all considered aphrodisiacs. Arugula is often paired with pine nuts. Add apple or pear slices if arugula is too peppery for you. In the picture I used leeks because they were out of fennel bulbs.

2 bunches of Arugula
1 cup Fennel Bulb, sliced
4-5 sweet red Mini Peppers, sliced
Pine Nuts

Wash and dry the arugula. In a small skillet, lightly sauté fennel on medium low for five minutes. Add fennel and peppers to arugula. Top salad with pine nuts and serve.

Dressing:

Juice of one Lemon
1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Udo's Oil
1-3 Tb raw Carob Powder
¼ tsp Real Salt

The best way to make this is in a blender. Blend on high for a few minutes until slightly thick.
