Instructions

To make the vinaigrette, combine the first 4 ingredients in an empty jam jar. Season generously with salt and pepper and shake well to blend. Taste the vinaigrette, and add more vinegar or seasoning as needed. Add the red onion slices. Let sit for 1-2 minutes for the flavor to infuse; then remove. You can either add the onion slices to the salad or discard them.
To make the salad, add the arugula leaves to a large bowl. Add the nectarines, pine nuts, and Parmesan cheese. Dress the salad with some of the vinaigrette right before serving so the leaves do not wilt.
Enjoy at room temperature.
