Ingredients
FOR THE ARUGULA SALAD:
- 5 ounces arugula about 5 cups
- ⅓ cup Parmesan Cheese see pictures-don't skip this, and the better the quality of the cheese, the better the salad! I like to shave mine right off of the block with a vegetable peeler, large shavings
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds pecans, and pistachios are all delicious (optional, chopped, or chopped nuts of choice (toasted and chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, or tarragon (optional, mild, chopped, of choice
FOR MORE VEGGIES (optional):
- 4 carrot shaved into ribbons (about 8 to 10 ounces) or 1 cup grated carrots (if you’re in a hurry, you can use the pre-bagged grated carrots, medium
- 1 pint cherry tomato halved
FOR THE DRESSING:
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice about 1/2 medium lemon, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Place the arugula and any optional veggies in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients: lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt. (Alternatively, you can shake them all together in a mason jar with a tight-fitting lid).
- Drizzle enough over the arugula to moisten it, then toss to combine.
- Sprinkle Parmesan and any desired nuts or herbs over the top. Serve immediately with a drizzle of extra dressing as desired.
Notes
- Dressing can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for 3 days, or up to 1 week if you freshen it up with a bit of extra lemon juice.
- TO MAKE AHEAD: Prepare the dressing, and store it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Combine the arugula and any vegetables you'd like to add in a large mixing bowl up to 1 day in advance, storing it in the refrigerator. Toss the salad ingredients with the dressing, toppings, and freshly shaved Parmesan just before serving.
- TO STORE: Leftover, dressed salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 additional day. The arugula will wilt, but the salad will still taste delicious. I like to toss in some fresh arugula with the leftovers to crisp things back up, as well as drizzle on some additional dressing.
