Time 53m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons strawberry jam
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
2 teaspoons agave syrup
1/2 cup sunflower seeds, toasted
7 cups arugula (5 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • To a blender, add the strawberry jam, sherry vinegar, lemon zest and juice, garlic, mustard, sriracha and salt. Blend well. With the motor running, slowly add the oil in a steady stream until the vinaigrette is emulsified and thick.
  • Melt the butter with the agave in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sunflower seeds, stirring to coat. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with the sea salt. Roast for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from the oven, and let cool completely.
  • Arrange the arugula on a large serving platter. Scatter with the candied sunflower seeds, and drizzle with 1/2 cup of the dressing. Serve immediately.
