Whisk in the salad bowl: 3 T good olive oil, 1 T vinegar, Trader Joe's lemon pepper (or pink sea salt and fresh pepper), a little honey and a little dijon mustard.
Brown some slivered almonds in butter.
Make croutons by toasting small cubes of a good white bread in olive oil and adding some garlic at the end and adding lemon pepper or salt and pepper.
Add into the salad bowl halved small tomatoes or cut up bigger tomatoes. Only use a flavourful tomato such as dry farmed Early Girls or tasty small ones. Add grated carrots and sliced pitted kalamata olives. Coat all these with the dressing and let them absorb flavor while you cut a Pink Lady apple into quarters, remove core, and then thinly slice the quarters and add in.
Wash and spin dry a good amount of very fresh arugula or other salad greens and fold in just before serving.
Shave some good cheese such as Uncommon Cheddar or Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Serve on individual plates with a topping of the toasted almonds, croutons, and shaved cheese and a further grating of fresh pepper.
