Lemony Arugala Hazelnut Salad
I love this salad for it’s simplicity and delicious spicy, tangy flavor. Try it and let me know what you think.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 2 chopped garlic cloves
- juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups baby arugula
- 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts
The easiest way I have found to make salad dressing is to put all my ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake it. So do that (mustard, garlic, lemon, oil, salt and pepper). Ok now taste it to make sure it is the right amount of delicious. Toss your dressing with your greens, top with the hazelnuts and dinner is served!

Pilates Bridge For Back Strength And Flexibility
Here Kate demonstrates the Pilates Bridge – one of the February Five exercises. This move strengthens and stretches your spine, lubricating your joints.
This is a little different than a yoga bridge in that your goal is stretching your spine, not hip height. Although you can’t tell this from a still photo she is exhaling to bridge up and inhaling to lower back down, moving continuously.
Try this at home. Start by activating your pelvic floor, feet, and hamstrings. How relaxed you can keep your neck and shoulders while moving your spine?
