- Make the vinaigrette: combine the shallot and lemon juice with a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil so it is well incorporated. Taste with a leaf of the arugula and adjust the salt, pepper, oil, or lemon juice if needed. Whisk in the herbs.
- Toss the salad with just enough dressing to lightly coat the arugula. Gently toss the salad and serve.
