Very tasty. I make a variation of this using lime juice instead of lemon juice. Since my entree tonight has lime in it, I decided to use the other half for this dressing. LIght and refreshing. Feels like summertime! Thanks for posting. -
Huge hit, served it at 4th of July and everyone loved it. Goat cheese is also nice. So easy and so good.

Very good and interesting salad! I made a few subsitutions and ommissions by using some regular lettuce in place of the arugula and skipping the pine nuts - very good. Thanks for sharing this easy summer salad!
