1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1⁄2 cup onion, red (slivered)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
1 tablespoon honey
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
4 cups arugula

In a medium bowl, combine the red wine vinegar and sugar and stir. Add the red onions and toss to mix. Let stand to pickle a little while you prep the salad.
