Chef's Notes

 
Ingredient notes & substitutions

Sun-dried tomatoes: I always use the kind in oil, but you can also use the dried kind. Soak the dry ones in warm water for 2 hours, or until sufficiently softened.
Honey - use liquid honey for easy mixing
Fresh lemon juice - bottled won't do
Olive oil can be swapped for another type of vegetable oil
Black pepper - fresh ground is best, but anything works

 
Tips & tricks

Taste the vinaigrette to make sure the balance of sweet, salty & acidic is just right for you
Serve it immediately - it's not a good one for storing

This was such a perfect salad to eat with our dinner al fresco! The sweet tanginess of the vinaigrette went really well with the peppery arugula. Great recipe!
