Ingredients
5 ounces baby arugula
8 ounces cooked chicken or tempeh, diced
1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa
2 oranges, peeled and cut into sections
2 ounces crumbled goat cheese (or nut cheese)

Roasted Garlic Dressing

1 teaspoon olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

 Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Slice the top off the garlic head and place in aluminum foil. Drizzle
with olive oil. Bake for 35 minutes, until tender. Allow to cool slightly.

Gently squeeze garlic from head and place in your blender. Add vinegar, mustard, maple syrup, salt

With the blender on, slowly add olive oil in a steady stream.
