    Mixed Greens with Arugula Oil and Lemon Vinaigrette

    August 18, 2017 by Kyle Leave a Comment

    Two infused olive oils make this Mixed Field Greens with Arugula Oil and Lemon Vinaigrette salad a delight to your taste buds. Try it!

    Joel could eat salad everyday! Although he would be okay with the same salad every night, I on the other hand, have to have some variety.

    I guess foodies just like to experience different flavors and ingredients. Anna assigned me "Mixed Field Greens with Arugula Oil and Lemon Vinaigrette" as the salad for her "Nantucket" themed Gr8 Dinner.

    I was excited to get this recipe and have another salad dressing in my repertoire.

    This dressing is very flavorful and simple to make. There are two oils that need to be started a couple days ahead in order to infuse the flavors and it takes only a few minutes to make both the lemon rind infused olive oil and the arugula infused olive oil. Check out the color of this arugula oil!

    Up close look at bright green arugula oil in a teaspoon.

    Drizzled on top of the salad adds a perfect peppery addition.

    There really is no reason to buy salad dressing in a jar from the market. Combining all of your favorite ingredients is the way to go! Fresh, easy and all the flavors you love! Try this salad with any meat, fish or chicken dish!
