Peppery arugula, cool cucumber rounds, and a generous handful of fresh parsley, mint, and dill come together in a salad that feels bright and genuinely satisfying — not like a compromise. The apple cider vinegar dressing is the real star here, whisked together with extra-virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder into something tangy and clean that coats every leaf perfectly. Apple cider vinegar is a go-to ingredient for anyone managing candida overgrowth, and using it as the base of a homemade dressing means you control exactly what goes in — no hidden sugars or additives lurking in a bottled version. Fresh herbs do a lot of heavy lifting in this bowl, adding complexity and depth without relying on anything that would throw off your protocol. Optional pumpkin seeds on top add a satisfying crunch and a little extra nutrition if you want them. This one serves four and comes together in just a few minutes, making it an easy weeknight side or a light lunch you'll actually look forward to.
