For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts or shaved Parmesan cheese. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, a touch of honey or maple syrup can be added to the vinaigrette. The salad is best served immediately after dressing to prevent the arugula from wilting. Feel free to experiment with other types of sprouts, such as radish or broccoli sprouts, to add different textures and flavors.
