snack time: arugula salad

Sometimes I feel like salads get too complicated and fancy. That's why I love this simple salad. All that's in there is arugula, a little fresh basil, parmesan and toasted walnuts. Regular walnuts are just never good enough. When I get a new package of walnuts, I toss the entire bag in a pan over medium heat for about 7 minutes. Then I just have them on hand. Anyway, I know this salad isn't anything too thrilling, but just thought you might appreciate a departure from fussy salads too. And some homemade dressing.
