This is my favorite side to take to a party, primarily because it is cheap, quick, colorful and (hopefully) encourages others to eat salad. The spicy arugula is perfect with the sweet vinaigrette, but fresh spinach would also work well.
1 bag fresh arugula or spinach
Optional toppings:
toasted walnuts
sliced avocado
crumbled blue cheese
dried cranberries (not too many...very high carb)
Vinaigrette:
1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey
2 green onions, minced
salt and pepper
Whisk all the vinaigrette ingredients in a small bowl. Pour on top of salad. Any leftover dressing can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.
