Tips:
- Toast the pine nuts before adding them to the salad to enhance their flavor and add extra crunch.
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil and a good vinegar like balsamic or red wine vinegar to elevate the taste.
- Season the salad just before serving to prevent the arugula from wilting.
- For an added burst of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing.
