Baby Arugula Salad with Creamy Honey-Dijon Dressing

This salad is one of my favorites.   It just says "spring has arrived" to me.  It works really great with asparagus as well.  I sometimes add a measure of lemon zest to this just to bump it up.
Dressing:
1/4 C. White wine vinegar
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 Tbsp. minced shallot
2 Tbsp. Honey
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/3 C. Olive oil
1-2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
water (to thin to desired consistency)
kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Combine all ingredients in a 2 C. measuring cup and mix with a wand burr mixer.  Correct seasoning with salt and pepper.  Adjust consistency with water.

Salad:
4 C. arugula, washed and spun dry
2 hard boiled eggs, chopped finely
1/4 red onion, sliced very thinly
1/2 C. chickpeas
3/4 C. grape tomatoes
Shaved Parmesan cheese, to taste

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl and toss with dressing.  Top with extra cheese and fresh cracked black pepper, serve and Enjoy!!
