Ingredients

For the Salad:

  • 5 cups Arugula Lettuce
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Shavings or vegan parmesan
  • 1/2 cup Toasted Pine Nuts

For the Lemon Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Balsamic Vinegar  or white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Lemon juice only
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme or Oregano
  • Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together all the ingredients for the salad dressing (olive oil, lemon balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper).

    Or you can use a small blender to mix together. This is my preferred method for blending salad dressing.

  2. Add arugula to a large serving bowl.

    Pour in just enough dressing to lightly coat the leaves and toss gently.

  3. Sprinkle the salad with Parmesan shavings and toasted pine nuts.

  4. Serve immediately to keep lettuce crisp and fresh.
