Ingredients
- 4 cups arugula
- 6 fingerling potatoes
- 5 early girl tomatoes , cut into fourths
- 1 cup Castelvetrano olives
- 8 oz. burrata cheese , cut into large pieces
- 1/3 cup pine nuts , toasted

- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Instructions
- In a medium pot with salted water, add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook the potatoes over a low boil for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half.

Add the potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook on both sides until the potatoes are nice and brown, approximately 7 minutes total. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and cook for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Put the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, vinegar, and remaining 6 tablespoons olive oil in a small jar or bowl. Season with salt and pepper and shake or whisk to combine. Set aside.
- Put the arugula on a serving platter. Arrange the tomatoes, potatoes, olives, and cheese on top of the arugula. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and dill. Serve immediately with the dressing.
