Ingredients
For the Salad
- 5 ounces baby arugula
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
For the lemon vinaigrette dressing
- 2 lemons juiced (about 1/4 cup juice)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
To make lemon vinaigrette
- Whisk together all ingredients except the olive oil.
- When blended, slowly add in the olive oil - whisking fast so it emulsifies.
For the Salad
- Add the washed arugula to a bowl, and top with cherry tomatoes
- Pour dressing over salad and mix well to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper and grate parmesan over the top.
- Devour
Notes
- Make ahead
- This is a great salad to make ahead, wait until just before you serve to add the dressing and parmesan.
- Substitutions/Additions
- If you don't have fresh lemon juice you can use vinegar (I like apple cider vinegar, but balsamic vinegar goes well in this too!)
- Add some toasted pine nuts when you add the cheese. Trust me, it kicks it up to uber-fancy!
- If you REALLY love lemon flavor - add a pinch of lemon zest to the dressing.
