Quick and easy side salad that goes with just about any meal. The bitter of the arugula balances out with the sweetness of the balsamic glaze. And the super secret key to taking this salad to the next level? Freshly ground salt and pepper. Bonus points to use a flavored, high quality olive oil (my favorite is a meyer lemon olive oil).
This flavor profile of this salad really mixes nicely with just about any cuisine or meal, but Italian and mediterranean foods are really ideal. I like serving this along side pasta dishes, sandwiches and wraps.
