(Try on~ Maybe Arugula, red onion slices, salt, black pepper, crispy fried bacon, and a little goat cheese... If arulula is too spicy for you, try mixed greens)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Pour dressing over your favorite salad. Transfer remaining dressing to a glass jar. Will last 7 to 10 days in the refrigerator
(Good on mixed greens, with toasted walnuts, apples, etc...)
(Or try on a few slices of mozzarella, tomato and fresh basil...)
