1. Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large nonstick pan over moderate heat until browned, about 45 seconds per side.

2. Whisk together lemon juice, salt to taste, oregano, and remaining olive oil for the dressing. (Or, you may use a dressing of your choice.)

3. Combine arugula and spinach. Toss with 6 tablespoons of the dressing.
