Instructions
To make it smooth and creamy, blend or process all of the ingredients in a small food processor. You can make the vinaigrette up to 5 days ahead of time.
Put the arugula in a big bowl for salad or a big platter to serve. Add the rest of the ingredients on top and drizzle 3 tablespoons of the dressing over them. Gently toss them together. Put extra dressing on the side and serve.
Notes and Tips
You can make the dressing up to 5 days ahead of time and store it in the fridge in a container with a lid. A glass jar works great for this. Before you dress the salad, give it a shake to mix it up.
Dress the salad right before serving so that the dressing doesn’t wilt the greens. You can put the salad together in a serving bowl without the clothes on and cover it with a clean, damp towel to make it ahead of time for a party or picnic. It can be kept in the fridge for six hours.
