Arugula Salad Recipe
Description
The Arugula Salad Recipe balances the spicy bite of fresh arugula leaves with the crunch of sliced apple and the creamy tang of crumbled goat cheese. Purple onion slices add mild sharpness, while crispy Bayonne ham provides savory richness and textural contrast. The ham is gently browned separately to develop crisp edges before being chopped and sprinkled over the salad.
The dressing blends lemon juice with olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper to enhance the natural flavors without overpowering them. Tossing or drizzling this dressing immediately before serving keeps the greens fresh and bright.
This salad works well for a quick, refreshing meal or as a complement to richer dishes. It can be served on its own or alongside grilled proteins or roasted vegetables to add a crisp, flavorful element.
