Notes
Arugula: You could also use a baby arugula and baby spinach mix for this salad if you prefer.
Pistachios: I love the pistachios in this salad, but you could substitute another nut. Pecans or walnuts would be good.
Dressing: The homemade vinaigrette is super easy to mix up, but you can of course substitute a store-bought salad dressing if you prefer.
