Arugula Salad with Walnut Vinaigrette for Two

Ingredients

Walnut Vinaigrette

1 tablespoon lemon juice ⅛ teaspoon table salt Pinch ground black pepper 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 tablespoon walnut oil

Salad

4 cups arugula, washed and dried1 ½ tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted

Before You Begin

We prefer to toast nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant, which takes four or five minutes. Make sure to shake the pan occasionally to turn the nuts. If you don’t have walnut oil, replace the canola and walnut oils with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.

Instructions

  1. Combine lemon juice, salt, and pepper in bowl with fork. Add oils, then whisk or mix with fork until smooth, about 30 seconds. The dressing will separate after 5 to 10 minutes, so use immediately or cover and refrigerate; mix again before tossing with greens.
  2. Place arugula and walnuts in large salad bowl. Drizzle with dressing and toss until greens are evenly coated. Serve immediately.
