Found on the epicurious.com website via Bon Appetit April 2009. "(This)makes a great side dish, but this salad is even better as a pizza topping. Brush the with olive oil, sprinkle it with sea salt and shredded mozzarella, then bake. When the pizza comes out of the oven, top it with the salad." Note: the lemon flavor in the dressing is very pronounced. *Update 1 January 2012*: I prepared this last week again but had no standard lemons on hand and substituted Meyer lemon juice and zest. Wow! fyi, cg

Time 15m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (asiago, reggiano, etc. can replace Parmesan if you wish)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (*fresh*!)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
4 cups packed baby arugula (rocket)
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (I omitted the tomatoes because my main dish contained them) or 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, minced (I omitted the tomatoes because my main dish contained them)
1 tablespoon pine nuts (my addition) or 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts, toasted (my addition)

Steps:

  • Blend salad dressing ingredients in a mini food processor. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Cover; chill up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before tossing the dressing with the greens.
  • Combine arugula and tomatoes in large salad bowl. Toss with enough dressing to coat.
  • Garnish with pine nuts or walnuts.
  • Servings are estimated.

Tips:

  • Select fresh, vibrant arugula: Look for arugula with deep green leaves and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash and dry the arugula thoroughly: This will help remove any dirt or debris and ensure the dressing evenly coats the leaves.
  • Use a light hand when dressing the arugula: A little dressing goes a long way, so drizzle it over the salad sparingly and toss gently to coat.
  • Add toppings of your choice: Toasted nuts, crumbled cheese, or crispy bacon can add extra flavor and texture to the salad.
  • Serve immediately: Arugula salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it as soon as possible after dressing.
