I'm not a huge fan of balsamic vinegar, but I really enjoyed the dressing in this salad. It's tangy and flavorful, but not overpowering.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. I usually add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.

This salad was a bit too peppery for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of arugula. The dressing was really good though.
