Can I use a different cheese?

Pecorino, feta, or soft goat cheese would be great options. If you use soft goat cheese, add it before serving instead of mixing it in because it would melt into the dressing.

Can I use different leafy greens?

You can use practically any greens for this salad. Romaine lettuce or mesclun greens are great.

Instructions

Start by toasting your pine nuts. Add them to a medium skillet over medium-high heat and toast them (with no oil) for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want them to be golden brown, with some black spots. They can burn quickly, so keep a close eye on them. Take them off the heat and set aside.
Into a large mixing bowl, add arugula, baby spinach, and grated pecorino cheese.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, sea salt, and grated garlic until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together gently until well mixed.
Serve sprinkled with toasted pine nuts.

Notes

Storing: Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.
