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.

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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh arugula, Parmesan cheese, and walnuts will make a big difference in the flavor of these baskets.
  • Don't overcook the arugula. It should be wilted but still have some bite to it.
  • Be careful not to burn the walnuts. Toast them until they are fragrant and golden brown, but don't let them get too dark.
  • Use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap balsamic vinegar will not have the same flavor as a good quality one.
  • Serve the baskets immediately. They are best when they are fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Parmesan Walnut Arugula Baskets are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They are perfect for a party or a special occasion. The baskets are filled with a mixture of arugula, Parmesan cheese, walnuts, and balsamic vinegar. They are then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the arugula is wilted. The baskets are served immediately and are sure to be a hit with your guests.
