Arugula Salad with Apple and Parmesan
Description
This Arugula Salad with Apple and Parmesan features a fresh mix of peppery arugula leaves, thinly sliced red onion, and crunchy apple cut into matchsticks. The salad is dressed with a blend of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper, enhancing the natural crispness and sweetness of the ingredients. Shaved Parmesan cheese adds a savory, nutty dimension that contrasts with the juicy apple slices.
The combination balances fresh, tart, and savory notes, making it a refreshing accompaniment to richer main courses or a light lunch option. The salad's texture contrasts crisp greens and fruit with delicate cheese ribbons and tender onion slices.
Use a vegetable peeler to create long ribbons of Parmesan, increasing visual interest and allowing the cheese to meld readily with the other textures. This salad yields about 4 cups, perfect for sharing or as a side.
