Arugula With Creamy Shallot Vinaigrette Mustard and shallots have always been a favorite combination of mine. This is a zippy dressing where a little bit goes a long way. Try sprinkling Lightlife Fakin Bacon Bits on top of this salad for a crunchy meatlike flavor. Chopped grilled chicken or cold poached baby shrimp also go wonderfully in this salad. This dressing will last in you refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Makes 4 Servings |
