Arugula and Orange Salad w/ Pine Nuts

Want an easy week night salad that's different than your standard iceberg and ranch? Try this out! It's delicious and fast and easy. Want to add some protein? Get a rotisserie chicken and chop some up and add it.

2 tbls rice vinegar
1 tbls orange juice
1 tsp Asian (dark) sesame oil
1 tsp honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp soy sauce
Arugula
1 naval orange, peeled & cut into sections (canned manderine oranges will probably work too)
thin sliced red onion (I hate red onion so I cut up scallions instead)
1 tbl toasted pine nuts (they are expensive, so use slivered almonds instead!)

Whisk together all ingredients except arugula, orange, onion and nuts. Then toss/coat the arugula in the dressing and top with oranges and pine nuts.

And add the chicken too if you like!

DELICIOUS
