This is the ultimate tomato lovers salad! Heirloom tomatoes are so full of flavor they need little embellishing. I sometimes add a sprinkle of mozzerella, feta, or blue cheese and chopped kalamata olives just before serving. Ingredients:

2 t red wine vinegar |
1 t dijon mustard |
salt |

6. When ready to serve, toss arugula in a mixing bowl with enough of the remainging dressing to just coat lightly.
