For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of toasted walnuts or pecans. If you don't have time to pickle the vegetables for 3 hours, a quick 30-minute pickle will still impart a lovely tang. Feel free to adjust the amount of balsamic vinegar to your preference. A high-quality balsamic glaze can also be drizzled over the salad for added sweetness and complexity. This salad is best served immediately to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and arugula.
