Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine leeks and buttermilk and set aside. In a large pot fitted with a candy thermometer, heat oil to 375 degrees F.

  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and cayenne. In batches, dredge leeks in flour mixture. Fry until golden, 1 minute. Transfer leeks to a paper-towel-lined plate and salt.

  3. In a large bowl, toss arugula with oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Divide salad among four plates and top with leeks.

A meal like this Fried Leeks and Arugula Salad that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
