Simple Salad

One of my favorite light meals or sides:

Arugula with tomatoes and mozzarella


Sliced roma tomatoes
Sliced fresh mozarella
Candied walnuts
Place over a bed of baby arugula
Top with homemade lemon vinaigrette

Candied walnuts:
Buy whole shelled walnuts
Toss in 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tbsp honey and 1/2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp black pepper
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Heat on 400 degrees for 20 minutes
Let sit and cool

Lemon Vinaigrette:
The juice of a large lemon
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Squirt of honey
1 tsp salt and pepper
Shake in container or emulsify with a fork (whisking motion)
