Arugula Salad With Anchovy Dressing image

Peppery, crisp arugula stands up nicely to the punch of this garlicky, anchovy-filled dressing. You can adjust the dressing's pungency by adding more or fewer anchovies. The dressing will keep for a few days in the fridge, but the oil will solidify, so remember to take it out at least an hour before serving, and shake it really well.

Time 10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup lemon juice (from 1 large lemon), plus more if needed
2 fat garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
2 to 4 anchovies, or more to taste
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 quarts arugula (about 1 pound)
Flaky sea salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine lemon juice, garlic and kosher salt. Let sit for 2 minutes, then add anchovies and parsley, and blend to combine.
  • With blender running, drizzle in oil until emulsified. Taste and add more lemon or kosher salt if necessary.
  • In a large bowl, toss together arugula and just enough of the dressing to coat the leaves (you may not need all of it). Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pepper and serve immediately.

I'm not a fan of arugula, but I loved this salad. The dressing is amazing and the Parmesan cheese adds a nice touch.

I'm not a huge fan of anchovies, but I was pleasantly surprised by this dressing. It was light and flavorful, and it didn't overpower the arugula.

This salad was a hit! The anchovy dressing was the perfect complement to the arugula, and the Parmesan cheese added a nice touch of saltiness. I also added some grilled chicken to the salad, which made it a complete meal.
