This Arugula Salad recipe with red wine vinaigrette is my go-to green salad. The arugula has a peppery bite to it which pairs wonderfully with the acid in the vinaigrette. It's the perfect salad for pairing with rich dishes.
Combine the 1 shallot, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon honey and salt and pepper in a small mason jar and shake to emulsify.
In a large bowl, toss 5 ounces arugula with enough of the vinaigrette to just coat the leaves.
Season with additional salt and pepper and top with toasted 1/4 cup pine nuts and 1/4 cup parmesan.
