Jump to Recipe

This was our go to salad for years!  It is the perfect side salad because it takes mere minutes to assemble and goes with everything. It’s fresh, savory, lemony and little nutty…  so much flavor for so few ingredients.

It’s simply peppery arugula mixed with toasted walnuts for crunch and tossed in a 3 ingredient Lemon Walnut Vinaigrette.

We haven’t made it in a while and decided to bring it back into the rotation recently… and are so glad with did! So delicious! And now it’s on our Easter menu.

I have no idea where we first got the recipe from years but we think it might be Cooks Illustrated.

One thought on “Arugula Salad with Lemon Walnut Vinaigrette”

  1. 4 stars
    Love this simple salad and I love walnuts! But absolutely no on the Canola oil. This is such an inflammatory oil definitely swap it out for Olive oil and never ever ever touch canola oil. I would have given it 5 stars without the canola oil.
