Dressing is so simple yet completely delicious! I was pleasantly surprise! My BF is a creamy dressing kind of guy and tried this-loved it, said I can make this anytime. I used a mix bag of spinach and arugula--so good. Fantastic recipe/salad, I will make this again and again, thanks Giada!

Well, I always hate when people change half the recipe and then review their own concoctions, but... I left out the capers and added a dab of dijon to the dressing. This was a really nice side dish - I served it with grilled pork chops. Very refreshing and tasty. The maple syrup added a nice hint of sweetness to balance the peppery arugula. I'd probably go with even a bit more dijon next time to give the dressing some more body.
