Ingredients
- 1 bag of Arugula Salad from Trader Joe's
1 cello box of Persian Cucumbers from Trader Joe's
1 or 2 large Beefsteak Tomato or 1 cello box of Trader Joe's Sweet 100 Cherry Tomatoes (or 1 cello box of Trader Joe's Heirloom Tomatoes...experiment/use what's in your pantry!)
1 cup Walnut Pieces
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil & 2 tbsp. Vinegar (Red Wine, Baslamic, Garlic Flavored Rice Wine Vinegar....again, experiment/use what's in your pantry!)
Dash each of Sea Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper to taste
Note: You can add Plain Low or No Fat Yogurt (I prefer Trader Joe's Greek Yogurt!) and a dash of Tobasco or other Hot Sauce, and maybe a bit of Honey or Sugar to taste...and you can substitute Lemon Juice or Lime (or both!) for the vinegar and make this more of a Mediterranian Flav-ah!
Also, you can make this same dressing in a Honey/Mustard Version for other salads by adding Honey and Mustard (again, use the mustard you have on hand or prefer to keep it simple!) to the vinegarette.
You can also up the spice/heat, by adding crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste. EXPERIMENT!
