Not a dressing, per se.  There are 3 arugula recipes in Nola.  One 
is sort of arugula preserves -- one pound of leaves, pickled in 
vinegar for a week, then cooked with 10 pounds of honey.  Another 
has boiled arugula mixed with vinegar and honey, in about the 
same proportions.  The third recipe is probably more enticing:

Another Good Arugula to be Made Swiftly
OTRA ORUGA BUENA PARA DE PRESTO

Take the little loaf of the arugula and scrape it on top where you see that 
it is dirty, and [take] the quantity of cinnamon that you wish to make, and 
toast a crustless piece of bread and having soaked it in vinegar, grind it 
with the arugula and cast in your honey and a little red or white wine 
with it and heat it on a fire of coals in a kettle and give it a little boil, so 
that the honey will incorporate with the arugula and with the other things 
and it is made.  You can add a little cinnamon and ginger if you wish.

[Incidently, if there is anyone who was promised a copy of the 
translation for review, and has not received it, please let me know.]
