Chickpea Arugula Salad
Description
Chickpea Arugula Salad uses canned chickpeas drained and rinsed, fresh baby arugula, diced red onion, and minced parsley as the main components. These ingredients are tossed together and dressed with a vinaigrette that includes extra virgin olive oil, freshly juiced and zested lemon, grated garlic, black pepper, kosher salt, Dijon mustard, and dried oregano. The salad is mixed well and adjusted for seasoning before serving. Just prior to plating, generous shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese are added using a vegetable peeler, providing a savory, salty contrast to the fresh greens. The salad offers a combination of peppery, tangy, and savory notes along with fresh textures from the raw vegetables and creamy chickpeas.
Ingredients
For the salad
- 2 ounce chickpeas drained and rinsed, canned
- 5 ounces arugula baby
- 3/4 cup red onion diced
- 2 ounces parmigiano reggiano shaved from block
- 1/4 cup parsley minced
For the vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large lemon juiced and zested
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
- In a large bowl combine the chickpeas, arugula, red onion, and parsley.
- Whisk together the vinaigrette and pour over the salad. Mix well. Taste test, and if required add more salt and pepper.
- Right before serving mix the salad one more time and lay it out on a large platter. Shave a hefty amount of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese all over the salad. A vegetable peeler is a great tool for shaving the cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- Best served the same day to keep the arugula crisp; refrigeration overnight may cause slight sogginess.
- Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Parmigiano Reggiano for even, thin slices that distribute flavor well.
