ARUGULA SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE

Arugula Salad With Lime Vinaigrette image

This tart, refreshing salad was originally proposed as a pairing for asado negro, a Venezuelan holiday roast beef that is simmered in dark caramel. However, go ahead and pair this with any hearty main course and you'll enjoy a wonderfully balanced meal.
