Worthy of a Special Occasion

Blueberries in the salad and in the infused vinegar contribute antioxidants. Start early on this recipe in order to make the fresh blueberry vinegar. Store leftover infused vinegar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks; use it as part of a marinade for pork, chicken thighs, or duck.

  • 4  cups  baby arugula leaves

  • 1/2  cup  thinly sliced red onion

Loved the salad...but did make some changes! I used mixed salad greens, added some toasted sliced almonds and added cherry tomatoes. The brie cheese is a must! It was colourful and my guests were quite impressed!07/06/08

I liked this but expected it to be sweeter, so I would use 1/2 the mustard next time. This is a nice salad for summer.05/27/08
