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!
