Everyone knows dressing can make or break a salad. It can determine whether you're scraping the bowl or leaving greens on your plate, so it's good to have a few simple and tasty dressing recipes under your belt.
This balsamic vinegar dressing has a little kick thanks to a drop of mustard, and it will likely have you going back for more. It's perfect for pairing with peppery arugula and sweet fig, which I did here, but by all means experiment with other lettuce and toppings.
Arugula and Fig Salad with Balsamic Vinegar Dressing
Prep Time: 5 minutes

Salad
3 cups arugula
4 fresh figs, quartered
1 tbs pumpkin seeds
Dressing*
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar

*Note this recipe is enough to just coat the salad. If you like more dressing, add an extra teaspoon of olive oil.
Put arugula in a bowl, and top with pumpkin seeds and fig.
In a separate bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients with a fork.
Pour dressing over salad and mix well.
