They also have a good recipe here:

Summer Berry and Arugula Salad Recipe:

2 generous handfuls of arugula (or a salad green of your choice)

¼ - ½ cup sliced strawberries (substitute other berries or even sliced stone fruit – peaches, apricots, or plums - if strawberries are no longer in season)

Dressing:

Balsamic Vinaigrette

1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

½ tsp Dijon mustard

Freshly ground sea salt and black pepper

1 T balsamic vinegar

2 T olive oil

Add the Dijon mustard, chopped garlic, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to a bowl or screw-top jar. Whisk the vinaigrette mixture until it is combined, or if using a jar, screw the top on and shake to combine. Lightly dress and toss the salad greens and strawberries (you probably will have extra dressing for your next salad).  If you like, sprinkle some sliced almonds on top!
Enjoy!
