Arugula salad, also known as roka salatası in Turkish, is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a popular choice for those seeking a healthy and delicious meal, and its versatility allows it to be customized to personal preferences. This article provides two variations of arugula salad: a classic arugula salad with walnuts and a more substantial arugula salad with grilled chicken. Both recipes are easy to follow and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. The classic arugula salad combines the peppery taste of arugula with the nutty flavor of walnuts, while the grilled chicken salad adds a protein-packed element to the dish. Both salads are tossed in a simple dressing made with olive oil, lemon juice, and honey, and garnished with crumbled feta cheese.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH WALNUTS (CEVIZLI ROKA SALATASI)



Arugula Salad With Walnuts (Cevizli Roka Salatasi) image

From turkishcookbook.com. I think if I ever visited Turkey I would quickly become fat and happy. Tulum cheese is the traditional cheese in this intensely flavored salad. It is described as "tangy" in taste. Unfortunately tulum is impossible to find here (I'll have to call around town and see if I can locate it). Meantime, in its place I substituted a good quality chevre and the second test run-freshly grated myzithra. If anyone has a better cheese suggestion for the salad, please *let me know*! Don't say Velveeta. The arugula may suddenly wither and die on the spot. The fresh basil and dried pomegranate seeds are my addition.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch arugula
4 ounces soft fresh goat cheese
one handful walnuts, crushed in medium size, lightly roasted
2 tablespoons pomegranate paste (NOT grenadine syrup! No, no!)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
scant 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (I whirled red pepper flakes in a coffee mill to powder-reduced from 1 teaspoon)
salt
fresh crack black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil, cut into thin ribbons (NOT dried basil!)
scant 1 tablespoon dried pomegranate seeds (fresh if available, dried cranberries a decent substitute)

Steps:

  • Note: the dressing tastes best if prepared at least 1 hour in advance of serving.
  • Wash and drain the arugula well.
  • Depending on the size of the leaves, leave whole or chop up into smaller pieces.
  • Arrange the arugula on a platter or on 4 individual salad plates.
  • Whisk all the dressing ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings. If you want the dressing a little spicier, add more of the (powdered) red pepper flakes.
  • Drizzle dressing over the arugula; gently toss. Add goat cheese (or tulum cheese if available). Garnish walnuts on top.
  • Finally, add the basil leaves and if desired, garnish each serving with a light toss of dried pomegranate seeds.

Celery Root Salad (Kereviz Salatasi) image

Refreshing and Nutty. You can adjust the yoghurt sauce to your liking, I used a 2:1 ratio here but feel free to adjust, or substitute sour cream. This recipe tastes just as yummy with added grated apples.

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.

ARUGULA AND CARROT SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND CHEESE



Arugula and Carrot Salad With Walnuts and Cheese image

The best type of arugula for this salad is the feathery type called wild arugula. I love the contrast of flavors here - peppery arugula alongside sweet carrots and a nutty dressing.

KIRAZLI ROKA SALATASI



Kirazli Roka Salatasi image

From turkishcookbook.com. A salad from Istanbul. Note: because fresh cherries are out of season (shame, because Rainier cherries from Washington state would be amazing in this recipe!) I replaced them with sweet dried cherries. You also have the option of substituting other seasonal fruit: peaches, pears, etc. in either fresh or dried form. Turkish feta subbed for the tulum cheese (the latter which I've yet to find here locally).

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

one bunch arugula, washed and drained (about 3-4 cups)
handful sweet cherries, pitted, sliced
1 small red onions or 1 small white onion, cut into rings
tulum cheese (or feta cheese, goat or ricotta cheese, crumbled)
4 -5 almonds, slivered, lightly toasted
extra virgin olive oil
lemon juice
salt

Steps:

  • Season the arugula leaves lightly with salt and lemon juice. Place on a serving platter.
  • Arrange the rest of the ingredients over the top. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil all over the salad. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To make your arugula salad more flavorful, use a variety of greens. Some good options include baby spinach, watercress, and radicchio.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different toppings. Some popular choices include walnuts, almonds, feta cheese, and dried cranberries.
  • To make a vinaigrette dressing, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just be sure to dress it right before serving.

Conclusion:

Arugula salad is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing meal, give arugula salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
