Bon Appetit's Arugula Salad With Lemon-Parmesan Dressing image

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

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (*fresh*!)
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The peppery arugula, the tangy lemon, and the creamy parmesan cheese all come together perfectly.

This salad is a refreshing and flavorful summer side dish. The arugula is peppery and the lemon-parmesan dressing is tangy and creamy. I added some grilled chicken to make it a main course salad and it was delicious!
