Arugula Salad with Honey-Herb Dressing
Arugula has a nice blend of bitter and peppery taste. There are not too many foods that truly have that bitter taste. This recipe, however, strikes a perfect balance between the sharp, distinct flavor of the Arugula, and the gentle kiss of the honey as sweetener. The honey's role as a garnish gives this dish a distinctive, and unique, tang that will leave you scrambling for more.
