This is such a fun salad to either brighten up a winter day or to enjoy in the peak of season in the summer.  There’s really not much to it and you could easily substitute other greens for the arugula or other berries for the blackberries.  The deep green and purple make for a wonderful visual, though.  You could also substitute another type of vinegar but I think the Balsamic nicely complements the arugula.

Arugula and Blackberry Salad

Serves 2

1/2 bag of baby arugula
1 box of blackberries
1 Tbls. honey
2 Tbls. Balsamic vinegar
4 Tbls. olive oil

Pour the arugula and berries into a salad bowl.  Whisk together the honey, vinegar, oil and salt and pepper.  Toss the vinaigrette with the arugula and berries.
