This tasted great! It was fuss-free to prepare. While the potatoes were boiling, I prepared the oil and herb mixture. I left the arugula for last so that it was crisp, and only added to the part we were going to have with dinner. Also, I doubled the recipe and it came out fine. I served warm with dinner, and the next day we had the leftovers cold from the refrigerator, which also tasted great! I added the rest of the arugula. Served with sauteed chicken breasts with roasted broccoli. A complete meal.
