Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salad Base

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the arugula and torn basil leaves. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat the leaves evenly.

    Slice the fresh Michigan strawberries and add them to the bowl with the arugula and basil. Gently mix to combine.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Gastrique

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the marigold gastrique until it becomes slightly syrupy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

    Assemble the Salad

    Transfer the salad mixture to a serving platter or bowl. Drizzle the warm marigold gastrique over the top and sprinkle with grated Locatelli cheese and chopped pistachios.
