Ingredients
- 5 cups arugula (rocket) (90g)
- ½ cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese shavings (30g)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (60ml)
- ½ lemon juice
- ¼ tsp sea salt flakes
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Put the arugula and shavings of parmesan in a mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl whisk the lemon juice, olive oil and salt together then pour over the salad.
- Toss the salad until evenly coated in the dressing then sprinkle over some freshly ground black pepper, serve.
Notes
- Storage - best served immediately, dress the salad right before serving.
- Add nuts - to add some texture I occasionally add in a handful of toasted pine nuts, they're a delicious addition. You could also add walnuts or pistachios.
- Make it spicy - for a hint of spice add in 1/4-1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes (chilli flakes) to the lemon and oil dressing.
- Add herbs - you can choose to add any fresh herbs you like depending on what you are serving it with. Parsley, basil, and mint would all work well.
- Add pesto - there are unlimited uses for pesto it's just so delicious and goes perfectly with this salad but I urge you to make your own homemade pesto, it takes no more than 5 minutes and once you taste it you'll be officially converted from the jarred stuff.
- Extra lemon - for extra zing and fresh lemon flavour you can grate the zest of a lemon and add it to the oil before adding juice.
- Different cheeses to use - I find that Parmigiano Reggiano is perfect in this salad because it's salty, strong and I always have it in my kitchen. You can easily replace it with something similar or different such as gorgonzola or goats cheese.
