How to Make Arugula Salad With Pomegranate And Toasted Pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread 1/2 cup pecan halves on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gradually whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until a smooth emulsion forms.
- In a large bowl, gently toss 5 ounces arugula with just enough vinaigrette to coat. Be careful not to overdress.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
