ARUGULA SALAD WITH PARMESAN



Arugula Salad With Parmesan image

Emulsifying a dressing isn't essential for a sublime salad: Instead, think of the oil and acid as seasonings for a vegetable. For this recipe, that's spicy arugula, dressed with olive oil, lemon and shards of Parmesan to create a salad classic in many Italian restaurants and homes. But whether olive oil or lemon should come first, like all seemingly simple questions, is complicated. James Beard, Marcella Hazan, Deborah Madison and Judy Rodgers all concurred: For a brighter-tasting salad, start with olive oil, which better adheres the liquids to the greens and doesn't obscure the lemon. Be sure to use full-flavored greens, then taste the dressed leaves and adjust seasonings until the arugula tastes like its greatest self.

Categories     easy, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 to 5 ounces baby arugula
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more as needed
Kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
2 ounces Parmesan, shaved with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Place the arugula in a very large bowl, ideally one that could hold twice as many leaves. Drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to toss lightly, then add the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Lightly toss the greens until they are evenly glossy; avoid overmixing or crushing the greens.
  • Add the Parmesan and toss just to incorporate. Taste. If the salad is too sharp, add another drop of oil and toss. If the salad is dull, add a sprinkle of salt and some lemon juice and toss. Eat right away.

Tips:

  • To preserve the freshness of arugula, store it unwashed in a loosely closed plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use a vegetable peeler to quickly and easily remove the skin from pears.
  • If you don't have a microplane, you can grate the Parmesan cheese using the smallest holes on a box grater.
  • For a sweeter salad, use ripe pears. If you prefer a tarter salad, use underripe pears.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare the dressing and toss the arugula and pears together. Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the Parmesan cheese just before serving.

Conclusion:

This arugula, pear, and Parmesan salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The peppery arugula, sweet pears, and salty Parmesan cheese are a perfect combination of flavors. The honey Dijon dressing adds a touch of sweetness and tang. This salad is also very easy to make and can be prepared in just a few minutes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
