Parmesan Arugula Salad
This easy arugula salad recipe is light, tasty, and comes together in about 10 minutes. It's the perfect side salad for virtually any main course and a fantastic last-minute option!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese + more if needed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 (5 ounce) package arugula
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- I strongly recommend buying a wedge of parmesan cheese for the best flavor vs. buying the pre-grated kind. Either grate it (I use my Microplane to make it light and fluffy) or use a potato/vegetable peeler to shave it.
- Add the dressing ingredients (oil, lemon juice, honey, Dijon mustard) to a small bowl and whisk together.
- Add the arugula to a salad bowl and toss with the dressing and parmesan cheese. Taste and adjust if needed (e.g. add a splash more oil or lemon juice) and season with salt & pepper. This salad wilts quickly, so enjoy it right away. Grate/shave more parmesan on top if you wish.
Notes
- Double all ingredients if you need a larger salad. This one serves up to 4 as a side (it's quite light).
- You can also find this recipe on page 209 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook.
