Spinach, Arugula, Kabocha & Buckwheat Salad

This salad is vibrant, full of flavor and incredibly nutritious. It consists of baby spinach, arugula, buckwheat, brazil nuts, raisins, crispy garlic and a poached egg. I usually drizzle this with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. It’s one of my favorite weekend lunch salads.
