Arugula Salad with Apple and Parmesan

Arugula Salad with Apple and Parmesan combines the peppery bite of arugula with crisp apple matchsticks, sharp shaved Parmesan, and a lightly sweet and tangy lemon-honey dressing. Red onion adds a mild sharpness, and fresh ground pepper rounds out the flavors. The salad's mix of textures and balanced dressing makes it a bright, crisp option for a side dish or light meal.
