We recently had a birthday dinner for my good friend, Lori. It was nice to celebrate in person this year, rather than over the phone. I will be posting all of the recipes I made for the dinner, but it will be one at a time. I am starting with the salad.
We enjoyed this very tasty salad and all the ingredients are listed in the title of this post. I am a huge fan of arugula and I like it served with fresh squeezed lemon, but for company, I decided to make an actual dressing.
I used Trader Joe's steamed and peeled baby beets. You can make your own but these are very good and very handy to have on hand in the refrigerator.

I plated the salads shortly before our guests arrived and held them in the refrigerator until needed. Right before I served the salads, I spooned on the lemon citronnette and I had the pine nuts in a bowl on the table for self service. The next time I make this salad, I plan to serve it with fresh spiced nuts which are easy to make on the stove top. It could use a little spicy/sweet crunch to counter the lemon and make it even better.
Here is my recipe for the dressing.
Enjoy!
